Smoking, alcohol and liver... The numbers

The number of people diagnosed with liver and skin cancers in England soared between 2003 and 2012, with the rise linked to lifestyle choices, such as smoking, alcohol and obesity.

These are the key findings of an Office for National Statistics study for the aforementioned period which shows that liver cancer incidence increased 70% for males (to 2,449) and 60% (to 1,418) for females between 2003 and 2012
