might reduce risk
hodgkin s lymphoma (hl)

a study concluded, results of large-scale european study … suggested protective effect of alcohol on development of nhl men , in non-mediterranean countries. population based case-control study in germany found alcohol reduced risk of hl both men , women more men, risk lowered 53%.

a population-based case-control study in italy reported protective effect of alcohol consumption on risk of hl among non-smokers. analysis of data series of case-control studies in northern italy revealed modest positive effect of alcohol on lowering risk of hl among both smokers , non-smokers.

kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma) (rcc)

moderate alcohol consumption associated lower risk of renal cell cancer among both women , men in pooled analysis pooled analysis found inverse association between alcohol drinking , rcc. risks continued decrease above 8 drinks per day (i.e. >100 g/day) of alcohol intake, no apparent levelling in risk.

a study concluded, results our prospective cohort study of middle-aged , elderly women indicate moderate alcohol consumption may associated decreased risk of rcc. researchers conducted study in iowa reported in population-based case-control investigation, report further evidence alcohol consumption decreases risk of rcc among women not among men. our ability show association remains after multivariate adjustment several new confounding factors (i.e., diet, physical activity, , family history) strengthens support true association.

another study found no relationship between alcohol consumption , risk of kidney cancer among either men or women.

a finnish study concluded, these data suggest alcohol consumption associated decreased risk of rcc in male smokers. because of risk reductions seen @ highest quartile of alcohol intake , alcohol risk factor number of cancers particularly among smokers, these data should interpreted caution. our data suggest inverse association between alcohol intake , risk of renal cell cancer… compared nondrinkers, men drank 1 or more drinks per day had 31% lower risk of kidney cancer among 161,126 hawaii-los angeles multiethnic cohort participants.

non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl)

a study concluded, people drink alcoholic beverages might have lower risk of nhl not, , risk might vary nhl subtype. compared nondrinkers, alcohol consumers had lower risk non-hodgkin s lymphoma overall … , main subtypes. study concluded, nonusers of alcohol had elevated nhl risk compared users…

some studies have found protective effect on nhl of drinking forms of alcoholic beverage or in demographic groups. study of men in found consumption of wine, not beer or spirits, associated reduced nhl risk , large european study found protective effect of alcohol among men , in non-mediterranean countries.. study of older women in iowa found alcohol reduce risk of nhl , amount of alcohol consumed, rather type of alcoholic beverages, appeared main determinant in reducing risk. possible mechanism has been suggested.

some studies have not found protective effect drinking. british research found no association between frequency of drinking , nhl , research in sweden found total beer, wine, or liquor intake not associated major subtype of nhl examined, apart association between high wine consumption , increased risk of chronic lymphocytic leukemia..

one study of nhl patients concluded, our findings encourage physicians advise nhl patients stop smoking , diminish alcohol consumption obtain improvements in course of nhl.
