Alcohol and cancer: do discussions in clinic reflect the research?

Venue: Level 7, Lecture Theatre B, Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre

Presenters: Dr Anna Boltong

Monday Lunch Live with Dr Anna Boltong.

Public health recommendations for upper limits of alcohol intake do not align with findings from systematic reviews of cancer risk. What does this mean for conversations with cancer patients in the clinic, and how can we best support clinicians to deliver lifestyle advice to patients in an accessible and practical way?

Dr Anna Boltong is Head of Division, Strategy and Support at Cancer Council Victoria. In this role she leads a team of 50 health, research, education and marketing professionals and oversees a portfolio including cancer information and support services, research governance, consumer policy and advocacy, and the Victorian clinicians network. Anna overseas research activity in the areas of clinical practice; clinical trial uptake; health service systems; and patient and family support provision, including cancer survivorship.
