When cancer is mentioned, people often think of genetics, environmental factors or unhealthy lifestyles. However, what may be less known is that approximately 15%-20% of cancer cases worldwide can be attributed to chronic viral infections. Among these pathogens, HBV and HCV are major viral drivers of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), while HIV-associated immunodeficiency substantially increases the risk of several AIDS-defining and […]
In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), cervical cancer remains a leading cause of mortality, with 85% of global deaths occurring in regions where healthcare access is constrained and follow-up care is unreliable. High-sensitivity HPV testing emerges as a cornerstone of screen-and-treat strategies, addressing systemic challenges through four interlocking mechanisms: 1. First Detection = Last Detection: Maximizing the Impact of Single Screening […]
Viral hepatitis co-infections, particularly hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV), are significant comorbidities in people living with HIV (PLWH). The European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS) guidelines provide comprehensive recommendations for screening, monitoring, and treating these co-infections to improve patient outcomes and reduce the risk of liver-related complications. Screening and Diagnosis: The guidelines emphasize the importance of routine screening […]
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients are at high risk for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection. Screening and treatment monitoring have become crucial in managing this vulnerable population. As a leader in diagnostic solutions, Sansure Biotech is committed to supporting healthcare providers in addressing this critical health issue. The Link Between CKD and HCV CKD is a global health concern, […]
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) poses an enduring global health dilemma, with current therapeutic strategies falling short of total viral eradication, even with the advent of nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) and pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) (Deng et al., 2022). The enigmatic persistence of HBV is predominantly attributed to the tenacious presence of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) within hepatocytes, which acts as a […]
