Alcohol consumption is an important known cause of cancer.
The Low Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines (LRDGs) are based on research and were created to provide Canadians with recommendations for alcohol consumption that could limit their health and safety risks.
Multiple risks were taken into account when developing these guidelines. However, individuals who want to reduce specifically their risk of developing cancer can follow more specific guidelines.
Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) plans identify how an organization addresses cancer burden as a significant public health challenge.
They are data-driven, evidence-based blueprints for action. CCC plans guide cancer control activities and can have similar components. Plans typically cover a five-year timeframe. In the fifth year, different processes are used to revise and update CCC plans.
Currently, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, seven tribes and tribal organizations, and seven territories and U.S. Pacific Island jurisdictions have produced 65 plans. In addition to these plans, the Cancer Council of the Pacific Islands developed a Pacific Regional Plan. [PDF-613KB]
