SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - A large U.S. study has linked alcohol consumption to an increased risk of the most common type of breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
The analysis of data from more than 184,000 women is the biggest of three major studies to conclude that drinking raises the risk of breast cancer for older women, Jasmine Lew, a researcher at the National Cancer Institute and the study's lead investigator said on Sunday.
The research found that women who had one to two small drinks a day were 32 percent more likely to develop a hormone-sensitive tumor. Three or more drinks a day raised the risk by 51 per cent.
"Regardless of the type of alcohol, the risk was evident," said Lew, presenting the findings here at a meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.
About 70 percent of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer have tumors that are positive for both the estrogen and progesterone receptors.
Lew said results from the NCI study lend credence to the theory that alcohol's interference with the metabolism of estrogen raises the risk of cancer.
She said it was too early to make public health recommendations but said women should talk with their doctors to assess risk factors and consider lifestyle changes.
Other studies have linked light consumption of alcoholic drinks, especially red wine, to heart protection.
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer killer of women, after lung cancer. It will be diagnosed in 1.2 million people globally this year and will kill 500,000.

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - A large U.S. study has linked alcohol consumption to an increased risk of the most common type of breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
来自圣地亚哥路透社的报道：美国一项重大研究发现饮酒可以增加绝经期妇女发生最常见类型乳腺癌的几率。
The analysis of data from more than 184,000 women is the biggest of three major studies to conclude that drinking raises the risk of breast cancer for older women, Jasmine Lew, a researcher at the National Cancer Institute and the study's lead investigator said on Sunday.领导这项研究的负责人，美国国立癌症研究院研究人员Jasmien Lew在周日说，这些数据来自184000人的大量的调查分析，最后得出结论：饮酒可以增加年长妇女罹患乳腺癌的几率。
The research found that women who had one to two small drinks a day were 32 percent more likely to develop a hormone-sensitive tumor. Three or more drinks a day raised the risk by 51 per cent.
研究发现每天1至2次少量饮酒的妇女发生一种激素敏感类型的乳腺癌的机率为32%，而每天饮酒3至4次的妇女患病几率增加至51%。
"Regardless of the type of alcohol, the risk was evident," said Lew, presenting the findings here at a meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.
Lew在美国癌症协会会议上说，无论饮用何种类型的酒，饮酒的危害是显而易见的。
About 70 percent of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer have tumors that are positive for both the estrogen and progesterone receptors.
大约有70%的患乳腺癌妇女的肿瘤呈雌激素受体和黄体激素受体阳性。
Lew said results from the NCI study lend credence to the theory that alcohol's interference with the metabolism of estrogen raises the risk of cancer.
Lew认为国立癌症研究院的结果可以说明饮酒可能干扰雌激素的代谢而增加患癌的几率。
She said it was too early to make public health recommendations but said women should talk with their doctors to assess risk factors and consider lifestyle changes.
她说现在对公众建议不饮酒还为时过早，但是妇女应该与医生交流饮酒的患病几率并尝试改善生活方式。
Other studies have linked light consumption of alcoholic drinks, especially red wine, to heart protection.
另外的研究则认为饮酒（尤其是红酒）对心脏有保护作用。
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer killer of women, after lung cancer. It will be diagnosed in 1.2 million people globally this year and will kill 500,000.
除了肺癌以外，乳腺癌是女性的第二癌症杀手。今年全球将有120万人被诊断为乳腺癌，并有50万人死于此病。
