Frequency of drinking alcohol may be a more important risk factor for incident gastrointestinal cancers than the amount of alcohol consumed per occasion.
Prevalence of Cardiac-Specific Mortality in Major Gastrointestinal Cancers
Investigators assessed the cardiac-specific mortality rate among patients with major GI cancers, as well as the relationship between radiation and chemotherapy with survival outcomes.
Aspirin and SSRI Use Associated With Reduced Risk for CRC
