Alcohol abuse and oncology

Alcohol increases the risk of many oncological diseases. It also complicates the oncological treatment of patients who abuse alcohol. Abstinence from alcohol should therefore be recommended in the primary and secondary prevention of oncological diseases. In oncology, as in other clinical disciplines, a brief intervention can be used for alcohol-related problems. Brief intervention techniques are useful, simple, and take a minimum of time, which is why we discuss them in more detail here.
Excessive stress and alcohol abuse present a problem not only for the patients but also for some oncologists. In the final part of the article we focus on the prevention of excessive stress and alcohol abuse in oncology workers and offer some specific options.
