New Zealand: 1st Conference On Alcohol, Cancer

First ever New Zealand Conference Focussed on the Link Between Alcohol Use And Cancer The first New Zealand conference on the association between alcohol use and cancer was held on June 17, 2015, at Te Papa, Wellington, the capital city.
It has been documented in scientific literature for at least 50 years that alcohol is carcinogenic, and it has been scheduled as a Group 1 carcinogen (an agent that directly causes cancer) by the World Health Organisation’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) since 1988. However, this information is not familiar to the public of New Zealand.
