Studiu al Agenției Internaționale pentru Cercetarea Cancerului (IARC): Unul din opt cazuri de cancer la nivel mondial în 2024 a fost cauzat de infecții

A recent IARC study reveals that 12% of global cancer cases in 2024 are linked to infections, highlighting the need for better infection control to prevent cancer. The study identifies five main infectious agents responsible for these cases, including H. pylori and HPV. Experts emphasize that many infection-related cancers can be prevented through vaccination and treatment, yet access to these interventions remains limited, especially in low-income countries. The findings call for increased efforts in vaccination, screening, and treatment to address this significant public health issue.
