Alcoholic beverages and risk of renal cell cancer
British Journal of Cancer (2007) 97, 429-433.



Using a mailed questionnaire, we investigated the risk of renal cell cancer in relation to different types of alcoholic beverages, and to total ethanol in a large population-based case-control study among Swedish adults, including 855 cases and 1204 controls.

Compared to non-drinkers, a total ethanol intake of >620 g month^-1 was significantly related to a decreased risk of renal cell cancer. The risk decreased 30-40% with drinking more than two glasses per week of red wine, white wine , or strong beer; there was a clear linear trend of decreasing risk with increasing consumption of these beverages.
