UICC’s Breast Cancer programme is designed to strengthen and engage the global breast cancer community, to respond to the urgent need to accelerate progress in breast cancer, with the overall goal of contributing to the reduction of premature deaths from breast cancer and improving the quality of life of people living with cancer. 🎀

Alcohol consumption and cancer👇

🍷⚠️ New findings from the International Agency for Research on Cancer, WHO, reinforce that alcohol is a major cause of cancer, responsible for around 4% of all new cases globally each year:

🔸 Drinking alcohol increases the risk of at least seven types of cancer.
🔸 Even low levels of drinking raise the risk of cancer.
🔸 In the EU alone, alcohol-related cancer deaths result in an estimated €4.6 billion in lost productivity annually.
🔸 The good news: reducing or quitting alcohol consumption reduces the risk.
🔸 Proven policies — such as increasing taxes, reducing availability, and restricting marketing — are effective when fully implemented and enforced.

These findings underscore the urgent need for stronger alcohol control policies and greater public awareness of alcohol’s role in cancer.
