A new report from the Alcohol Health Alliance UK (AHA) has found that hospital admissions for alcohol-related cancer in England have increased by 28% in just eight years.
The report, Alcohol and cancer, highlights figures showing that the number of admissions to hospital for alcohol-related cancer increased from 29,400 in 2002/03 to 37,600 in 2010/11. The AHA said that despite the link between alcohol and cancer having been well-established for many decades, four out of ten people are still not aware that alcohol is a risk factor in cancer.
