The World Health Organization (WHO)/European Union (EU) Evidence into Action Alcohol Project (EVID-ACTION) contributes to the achievement of the objectives of the European Plan for Action against Cancer. Teaming up with the NCD Alliance, the objective of this session is to lay the foundations for a network of partners dedicated to fostering environments conducive to combating alcohol-related cancers. The immediate focus of the session will be to stimulate discussion among participants on how to use the latest data on the link between alcohol and cancer, particularly breast cancer, what can be asked of policymakers, and how best to work together to reduce cancer incidence worldwide. Through storytelling and the presentation of innovative campaigns, it aims to inspire collaborative efforts between national cancer societies and allies to promote the creation of environments that support the control of alcohol-related cancers. The event should result in a joint agreement between these stakeholders to pool their expertise and knowledge to advocate for the prevention of alcohol-related cancer risks.

Tuesday, 17 September, 10:30am-12:00 pm, Plenary F.
