Alcohol and Cancer

The World Health Organization has identified chronic alcohol consumption as one of the top ten risk factors for disease worldwide. This volume reviews the state of the art in alcohol-related cancer research in ten chapters.

Written and edited by internationally recognized leaders in the field of metabolism, alcohol and cancer. No single comprehensive volume on alcohol and cancer exists. Will appeal to those working in cancer research and those working in metabolic research. Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
