What is the impact of alcohol on cancer treatment and prognosis?
Alcohol consumption can negatively impact cancer treatment and prognosis. Patients undergoing treatment such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy may find that alcohol exacerbates side effects like nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Additionally, alcohol can interfere with the effectiveness of certain medications used in cancer treatment. Continued alcohol use during and after treatment can also increase the risk of cancer recurrence.
