Core Tip	In this letter to the editor, we discussed the reality that alcohol consumption is a risk factor that acts by itself to favor the appearance of the carcinogenic process and its harmful evolution towards metastatic pathology. One of the hypotheses that have been suggested as important in metastasis and communication between cells and/or organs is the traffic of extracellular vesicles/exosomes that can play or promote tumorigenesis locally and even at a distance from the primary tumor. Unraveling these communication mechanisms and therapeutic possibilities may lead to new ways to combat cancer’s worsening, as metastasis, in the future.
