Meta-analyses on the association between alcohol and skin cancer: no firm conclusions

Two meta-analyses recently investigated the association between alcohol and two types of skin cancer.

It is still unknown whether alcohol causes this effect or that other confounding factors play a role. The underlying mechanism is also unknown. More research is therefore necessary before strong conclusions can be drawn. The results are published in the scientific journals British Journal of Dermatology and European Journal of Nutrition.
