FAU studies link between cancer, consuming alcohol 

New research from Florida Atlantic University’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine highlights the cancer risks of alcohol, even at moderate levels. 

Reviewing 62 studies with millions of participants, researchers found that both how much and how often people drink significantly affect the risk of cancers including breast, colorectal, liver and oral cancers.

Older adults, African Americans, those with obesity or diabetes, and lower-socioeconomic populations face disproportionately higher risks, even at similar or lower levels of drinking. 

The research also found that lifestyle, genetics and other health factors compound alcohol’s effects. Heavy, daily or binge drinking is strongly linked to multiple cancers, while following cancer prevention guidelines lowers risk.

Also at FAU in the area of medicine, two Florida Atlantic University researchers, Randy Blakely, Ph.D. and Gregg Fields, Ph.D., were inducted into the 2025 class of the Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine of Florida, which honors top scholars whose innovations have significant scientific and societal impact.

Blakely is a neuroscientist whose work has advanced understanding of brain disorders. Fields is a biochemist known for making breakthroughs in protein research that inform disease treatments.
