Cancer deaths linked to alcohol have risen significantly. A study reveals that such deaths have more than doubled over several decades. The number of deaths grew from approximately 11,000 to over 23,000.

Researchers examined the impact of alcohol on various types of cancer. They found that alcohol's role in cancers beyond liver cancer is not well understood.

The study's findings suggest that alcohol is a major risk factor for cancer, and one that could be prevented. Further information on the study's results is available.
