6 Alcohol Related Cancer Nearly half of Canadians are expected to be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives and 1 in 4 Canadians is expected to die of it. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies alcoholic beverages as carcinogenic to humans. Alcohol is one of the top three leading causes of cancer deaths in Canada. In 2015, an estimated 10,700 cancer diagnoses in Canada were related to alcohol consumption. Source: 2017 Canadian Cancer Society Statistics 6

8 Alcohol Related Cancers Biological pathways for carcinogenesis: Acts as a solvent other carcinogens can penetrate cells more easily and cause genetic damage. Alcohol acetaldehyde, an identified carcinogen, damages a cell s DNA and prevents repairing any damage. Acetaldehyde causes liver cells to grow faster than normal more likely for genetic changes in cells could lead to cancer. Source: M. Bassier-Palto (2017 ) Presentation at CDC Conference, Atlanta, August 15, 2017.

10 Alcohol Related Cancers Drinking about 3.5 drinks a day doubles or even triples the risk of developing cancer of the mouth, pharynx, larynx and esophagus Drinking about 3.5 drinks a day increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer and breast cancer by 1.5 times Studies suggest that women are at increased risk for breast cancer even at a low level of one drink per day Source: Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction.

11 Alcohol Consumption & Cancer Mortality Population-level consumption has been linked with longterm trends in mortality: suicide, homicide, traffic crashes, chronic disease -- studies in Canada, Europe & USA Research by N. Schwartz et al. focuses on 17 countries: annual sales in alcohol over several decades in connection cancer mortality among males: larynx; esophageal and lip, oral cavity and pharynx (LOCP). Significant associations between alcohol sales and cancer mortality were found in the majority of countries examined, which remained after controlling for tobacco use. Significant associations were observed with rising, declining or stable trends in alcohol consumption and corresponding lagged trends in mortality from specific cancer types Source: N.

15 Habits and Perceptions Canadians drink about 50% more than the global average. In 2013, an estimated 22 million Canadians, almost 80 percent of the population, drank alcohol in the previous year. Consistent findings reported in Ontario showed 8 out of 10 adults consumed alcohol between 1998 and Daily drinking in Ontario increased from 5.3% in 2002 to 8.6% in Sources: Government of Canada 2016, The chief public health officer s report on the state of public health in Canada 2015: alcohol consumption in Canada.

23 Policy Alcohol Pricing Strategies Minimum or floor price for all on-premise & offpremise venues, indexed to keep pace with inflation [indexed minimum unit price] Pricing by alcohol content in standard drink -- e.g. 341 ml of 6.5% beer is priced higher than 3.5% Average price keeps pace with cost of living, Consumer Price Index Sources.

24 Intervention Minimum Prices - Saskatchewan Intervention: In April 2010 the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) introduced a comprehensive set of new and increased minimum prices. These applied directly to all liquor stores and indirectly alcohol sold in bars and restaurants. The price was $1.16 and $1.84 per standard drink and among the highest in Canada at the time. Impact: A 10% increase in minimum prices significantly reduced consumption of beer by 10.06%, spirits by 5.87%, wine by 4.58%, and all beverages combined by 8.43%. Consumption of higher-strength beer & wine declined the most Source: T. Stockwell et al.

25 Intervention Minimum prices British Columbia Intervention: Increase in minimum prices of distilled spirits in: August 2004; September 2006; January 2008 and April Increase in minimum price of packaged and draft beer in May 2006 and January Overall a 10% increase in average minimum prices. Impact: A 9% decrease in acute alcohol-attributable admissions and a 9% reduction in chronic alcohol-attributable admissions. A 19% reduction in alcohol-related traffic violations, a 9% reduction in crime against persons, a 9% reduction in total crime outcomes examined. Sources: T. Stockwell et al.

38 Public Health Increase awareness of alcohol as a carcinogen, especially for priority populations such as women and girls, elementary and secondary school students, university students. Reinforce cancer low risk drinking guidelines Join or support alliances or organizations working on collective action Promote evidence-based alcohol policies as recommended by WHO Pricing Controls on physical access Protecting government retail systems More effective controls on alcohol marketing 38
39 Public Health Cancer Risk Factors Atlas of Ontario Developed by Cancer Care Ontario Describes the geographic distribution of 6 modifiable risk factors related to cancer and other chronic diseases at a local level and includes alcohol consumption Addresses the need for detailed, local information on modifiable risk factors. Supports identification of priority populations/areas and development of targeted prevention efforts 39
40 Public Health Screening, brief intervention and referral (SBIR) Public Health Ontario provides a variety of resources and expertise to enable municipal alcohol policies and planning and implementation of alcohol-related interventions Two recently published resources, a Focus On and an Evidence Brief, highlight alcohol screening, brief intervention and referral (SBIR) as an early intervention strategy. SBIR targets individuals who are consuming alcohol above recommended guidelines but do not qualify as alcohol dependent. 40
41 Policy Makers Increase awareness of alcohol as a carcinogen Join or support alliances working on collective action Support and implement alcohol control policies Have information on alcohol in a prominent place on web site Provide specific information on what high risk drinkers can do to reduce their consumption Have a position statement or clear policy on interaction with the alcohol industry Source: M. Bassier-Palto (2017 ) Presentation at CDC Conference, Atlanta, August 15,

43 Outline Introduction and objectives Alcohol-related cancers Habits and awareness of alcohol as a cancer risk Policies and interventions to reduce cancer risks associated with alcohol use What can public health, policy makers and cancer charities do? Summary 43
44 Summary Alcohol causes cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, colon and rectum, female breast, liver, and possibly pancreas. Current evidence does not identify a safe limit of drinking Drinking any type of alcohol beer, wine or spirits raises the risk of cancer. The less alcohol consumed, the more the risk is reduced Despite the health and social consequences, alcohol is still being consumed in quantities that increase the risk for disease. 44
45 Summary Alcohol use and cancer evidence is extensive. However there is low public awareness of this carcinogen and of programs and policies that can address this growing public To reduce the harm from alcohol, including cancer risk, a combination of individual and population level interventions are needed. Public health advocates, governments and NGOs, including cancer prevention charities, have critical roles to play in a coordinated response 45
