Alcohol and Cancer
This webinar introduced NCI’s interest, investment and activities in alcohol and cancer research and a panel of experts discussed scientific evidence gaps related to the role of alcohol across the cancer continuum. Specifically, the webinar summarized what is known and what we need to know in cancer etiology, patient care and survivorship, policies, and communication relevant to alcohol as a target for cancer prevention and control.
There was ample time for audience questions and comments as NCI seeks to further understand and support research on the epidemiology and biology of alcohol and cancer risk and prognosis, effects of alcohol use during and after cancer treatment, and individual and policy level interventions focused on reducing the burden of cancer caused by alcohol.
