U.S. alcohol-related cancer deaths double over 33 years - study
Alcohol-related cancer deaths in the United States doubled over about three decades, a study found. Researchers analysing Global Burden of Disease data estimated deaths rose from 11,361 in 1990 to 23,126 in 2023. In 2023, the age-standardised death rate per 100,000 people was 6.4 for men and 2.1 for women. Liver cancer and breast cancer showed the highest alcohol-attributable mortality in older adults, and liver cancer saw the largest increase.
