    My dad claimed that alcohol causes cancer via interfering with ones immune system and gut bacteria. This was just a hunch based on watching a friend get colorectal cancer. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out to be the truth.

      Probably some mix of that and ulceration. Any time cells replicate there's the chance for them to turn cancerous and when you've got wounds like that- a burn for example- there's so much destruction and recombination going on that it becomes a big cancer risk.
