Not just the liver, heart, and kidneys, drinking alcohol can damage your DNA too
"Even when heavy drinkers stopped drinking, their methylation levels did not return to those of non-drinkers, indicating that alcohol-related chemical alterations in the DNA are not reversible," Dr. Bir Sehrawat, HOD and director, department of gastroenterology, Marengo QRG Hospital, Faridabad
Over the years, there has been plenty of research suggesting that drinking alcohol, albeit a little, can help keep your heart in great shape, and that wine may help delay ageing. But experts are now debunking this very finding. According to research by the American Cancer Society, alcohol contributes to more than 75,000 cases of cancer per year and nearly 19,000 cancer deaths. Further, experts suggest that not just the liver, heart, and kidneys, drinking alcohol can also damage the DNA.
Agreed Dr. Bhavana MV, consultant – microbiology, Manipal Hospital, Old Airport Road, Bangalore and said that “there is some evidence that chronic alcoholism can cause some DNA changes and that can contribute to tumour initiation and progression”. “It is known that chronic alcohol consumption is an important risk factor for liver and few of the gastrointestinal cancers,” Dr. Bhavana said.

On the occasion of the Clinical Interventional Radiology Conference (CIRCON) 2023, Dr. Reddi Prasad Yadavali, Chairman, HOD & Consultant – Interventional Radiology, Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, spoke extensively about different types of IR procedures used to treat both benign disease and cancer with the help of advanced technology. The conference also highlighted the role of IR in patients' pre and post-operative care in treating both early and advanced-stage cancer.
Interventional Radiology (IR) is one of the rapidly growing medical specialties that enables medical professionals to perform pin-hole procedures to diagnose, treat, and cure a range of illnesses using minimally invasive techniques. IR can treat a wide range of conditions such as Uterine fibroids, enlarged prostate, dialysis access, thyroid nodules, hemoptysis (coughing up blood), varicose veins in the legs, liver and kidney cancers, pelvic congestion syndrome, etc. Although IR was first developed in the 1960s, it has taken some time to evolve and get recognition as a super-specialty around the world.
Interventional Radiologists at Manipal Hospitals have been part of many breakthrough procedures to treat cancers, fibroids, dialysis access, arterial diseases, and other many rare conditions. The scope of services of Interventional Radiology includes all organs of the body. The most well-known and largely preferred alternate method used to treat Uterine fibroid is a pin-hole technique called embolisation.
Dr. Reddi Prasad Yadavali, Chairman, HOD & Consultant – Interventional Radiology, Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, said, “Application of Interventional Radiology is increasing rapidly around the globe. Over the years there has been a steady growth of IR in India. With an increasing number of training programs and official recognition of IR as a super specialty, our country has expanded the practice of Interventional Radiology. Today it has become an integral part of the clinical management of patients with any disease benign or cancer.
