Description:

On Monday, February 23, the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University will host a Cancer Prevention Symposium titled Alcohol Increases Cancer Risk: Mechanisms, Interventions and Messaging. This virtual conference is prompted by recent data suggesting that even low-level alcohol use promotes cancer. Leading prevention researchers will share research findings and innovative clinical approaches addressing alcohol use, the combined effects of alcohol and smoking, and the effects of cessation. The communication of this important information to patients and the public is a pressing priority and will also be discussed.
