FDA and NIH jointly sponsor the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study - a large, long-term study that helps researchers and scientists understand tobacco use and its health impact in the U.S. It can help inform FDA's regulatory actions. fda.gov/tobacco-produc…

A 2023 @theNCI study found most Americans are unaware of the association between alcohol and cancer risk. Alcoholic drinks contain ethanol, a known carcinogen, and there are several ways in which it may cause cancer. bit.ly/3ktrcu2

There is a strong scientific consensus that alcohol drinking can cause several types of cancer. The evidence indicates that the more alcohol a person drinks, the higher the risk of developing an alcohol-associated cancer. bit.ly/3bfM7IA

Opting for fewer drinks or none at all on a night out can make a big difference, especially in how refreshed you’ll feel the next day! Get tips on changing your drinking patterns: brnw.ch/21wPij5

A new @theNCI modeling study shows that cancer prevention and screening were the main contributors to reducing mortality from five cancers over the past 45 years. The contribution of each intervention varied by cancer site. Learn more: go.nih.gov/MIC00oU

Over the past 45 years, the majority of deaths averted from breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer were due to prevention and screening, rather than treatment advances, @theNCI researchers have found. go.nih.gov/MIC00oU
