Gilberto Lopes, Chief of the Division of Medical Oncology at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, shared a post on LinkedIn, regarding an article co-authored by him and Dr. Chinmay T. Jani.
“Alcohol-related cancer deaths in the U.S. have quietly doubled over the past three decades — from ~12,000 in 1990 to over 23,000 in 2021.
What once was a whisper now grows into a silent surge. This rising toll goes largely unnoticed, yet it reflects a deep, preventable burden: in a world where data and awareness often lag behind reality, alcohol remains a hidden trigger for suffering.
The piece calls for urgent recognition, public health action, and honest conversations about risk.”
