abstract = {Experimental evidence suggests that alcohol induces
cutaneous carcinogenesis, yet epidemiological studies on the
link between alcohol intake and skin cancer have been
inconsistent. The European Prospective Investigation into
Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) is a prospective cohort
initiated in 1992 in 10 European countries. Alcohol intake
at baseline and average lifetime alcohol intake were
assessed using validated country-specific dietary and
lifestyle questionnaires. Hazard ratios (HRs) and $95\%$
confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated in Cox models. A
total of 14 037 skin cancer cases (melanoma: n = 2457;
basal-cell carcinoma (BCC): n = 8711; squamous-cell
carcinoma (SCC): n = 1928; unknown: n = 941) were identified
among 450 112 participants (average follow-up: 15 years).
Baseline alcohol intake was positively associated with SCC
(>15 vs 0.1-4.9 g/day: HR = 1.44, $95\%$ CI = 1.17-1.77;
Ptrend = .001), BCC (HR = 1.12, $95\%$ CI = 1.01-1.23;
Ptrend = .04), and melanoma risks in men (HR = 1.17, $95\%$
CI = 0.95-1.44; Ptrend = .17), while associations were more
modest in women (SCC: HR = 1.09, $95\%$ CI = 0.90-1.30;
Ptrend = .13; BCC: HR = 1.08, $95\%$ CI = 1.00-1.17, Ptrend
= .03; melanoma: HR = 0.93, $95\%$ CI = 0.80-1.08, Ptrend =
.13). Associations were similar for lifetime alcohol intake,
with an attenuated linear trend. Lifetime liquor/spirit
intake was positively associated with melanoma (fourth vs
first quartile: HR = 1.47, $95\%$ CI = 1.08-1.99; Ptrend =
.0009) and BCC risks in men (HR = 1.17, $95\%$ CI =
1.04-1.31; Ptrend = .14). Baseline and lifetime intakes of
wine were associated with BCC risk (HR = 1.25 in men; HR =
1.11-1.12; in women). No statistically significant
associations were found between beverage types and SCC risk.
Intake of beer was not associated with skin cancer risk. Our
study suggests positive relationships between alcohol intake
and skin cancer risk, which may have important implications
for the primary prevention of skin cancer.},
