Stop "stomach cancer" and build a healthy family free from "H. Pylori" !
In 2020, there were about 1.1 million new cases of gastric cancer worldwide, ranking at fourth among the causes of deaths of malignant tumors, and about 800,000 deaths because of the gastric cancer yearly. Asia (mainly China) has the highest number of registered gastric cancer cases (approximately 820,000 new cases and 580,00 deaths), with less than 20% survival rate in 5-yearan as estimated. There are many factors to the occurrence of gastric cancer, including Helicobacter pylori infection, family history and genetic predisposition to gastric cancer, age, environment, lifestyle, diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, low physical exercise, obesity, radiation, gastroesophageal reflux disease, etc. Among them, at least 90% of gastric cancers are associated with Helicobacter pylori infection.
Helicobacter pylori is not simple!
Helicobacter pylori infection is found worldwidely as a common and could be lifelong infection in the human stomach. With the studies so far by isolating the Helicobacter pylori from the gastrointestinal secretions, saliva, gums, and feces of infected patients,the stomach to oral, oral to oral, or fecal to oral might be the key transmission routes of Helicobacter pylori. About 10% of gastric cancer cases present with familial clustering due to the common risk factors among the gastric cancer patients and their relatives, resulting in a higher rate of Helicobacter pylori infection than that in the general population. Moreover, the premalignant histological changes in the gastric mucosa of these people are more serious.
How to prevent Helicobacter pylori
Symptoms such as acid reflux, heartburn, stomach pain, bloating, and stubborn bad breath may occur after being infected with Helicobacter pylori, but some are asymptomatic. With the deepening of clinical practice and cognition, the concept of family prevention and control of Helicobacter pylori infection has gradually attracted attention, blocking the transmission in a family, eliminating the source of family infection has become an important strategy to stop the Helicobacter pylori infection and transmission. Meanwhile it also plays a positive role in preventing and controlling the Helicobacter pylori infection, reducing occurrence of related diseases, saving medical expenditures, and improving the whole national health level in China.
For the sake of your family and your own health, to prevent stomach disease, it is recommended to carry out Helicobacter pylori tests in a family unit. So far, Wizbiotech has launched gastric Helicobacter pylori antigen detection kit (latex) and gastric Helicobacter pylori antibody detection kit (colloidal gold), they are with high sensitivity and accuracy, convenience and high-cost performance, fit the needs of applications at home.
