What Is the Direct Effect of Heavy Consumption of Alcohol (Alcoholism) and the Chemotherapy Drug Carboplatin.?

My family member was diagnosed with larynx cancer (stage IV) and has completed the intensive chemotherapy round, and is going to be starting radiation with chemotherapy. Luckily he is doing well with the treatment and his tumor has shrunk. With all I know about this type of cancer and what was told to me by drs, I understand that this cancer was caused primarily because he smoked and drank heavily. He has stopped smoking, but is still in denial about the alcohol and refused to stop (he has been in treatment twice over the last 20 years, recently 5 years ago). Without using a crystal ball what are his chances after all treatment is complete and is expected to come out “cancer free” of a recurrance of this type of cancer, or another type of cancer? And what needs to be done to test his liver and heart after the effects of the chemo/radiation and alcohol consumption?
