Text

Analyses of risk of pancreatic cancer stratified by type of alcohol consumed were generally limited by sample size considerations. Significant associations among men by alcohol type or combination of alcohol types were noted for wine (OR = 2.8, 95% CI = 1.2–6.3), consumption of beer and liquor (OR = 2.3, 95% CI = 1.3–4.1), and the combination of beer, wine, and liquor consumption (OR = 1.7, 95% CI = 1.0–2.8). As was observed for the overall analyses, no association between type of alcohol consumption and risk for pancreatic cancer was observed among women.
