Did you know that viral #hepatitis is a leading cause of #livercancer globally?🤔
New research by @CDAFound finds that #hepatitis B and C infected individuals “have a similar or significantly higher risk of developing cancer than someone who actively smokes one pack of cigarettes per day.”
Our recent survey also shows that nearly half (42%) of people globally are unaware that one of the leading causes of liver cancer is viral hepatitis.
This #WorldHepatitisDay, we must continue to raise awareness about the dangers of this silent killer, hepatitis, to save lives!

Amazing Su...! And we are excited to release the new global HBV estimates this #WorldHepatitisDay sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
@LancetGastroHep @Homie_Razavi
Sadly, a long way to go before elimination.

CDA Foundation is honored to be selected for Gilead's Relink grant. This grant will be distributed to organizations in the US to link HCV & HBV diagnosed but untreated individuals back into care.

#SaudiArabia is now on track to eliminate #HCV by 2030. Since 2014, 22K have been treated. In 2021 alone, >150K people were screened in primary healthcare & 340K people through premarital screening.
Congratulations for being one of 12 countries on track.

Impressed by collaborators in #Kazakhstan. In <1.5 months, screened >7,000 for #HBV & #HCV, tested VL & linked pts to care. MoH approved GPs to treat pts. Our pilot will end in 2 months & will be rolled out nationally.

Egypt screened their total population for HCV and treated all who tested positive. This was a monumental effort which was shown save the country money by 2029. Congratulations Egypt. #EliminateHCV
@Hep_Alliance @GlobalHepSummit @HepBFoundation @hepatitisfund
A collaborative study in #Egypt showed the elimination of #HCV was highly cost effective by 2021 & cost saving by 2029. Egypt will save $35M in direct costs and $4.7B in indirect costs by 2030.
In memory of Dr. Ezzat.

#China announces updated #HBV Tx guidelines. In most cases, detectable DNA is sufficient. Encourage other countries, @WHO, @AASLDtweets , @EASLnews , @APASLnews to update their treatment guidelines.

Great graphic & story highlighting that vaccination key to elimination of #hepatitisB- even as we are on the road to finding #HepB cure.
But we desperately need @gavi to follow through w their commitment to cover #HBV birth dose vaccine in many of their countries! 👶🏽

There are other studies w similar findings of #HBV pts w higher rates of some nonhepatic #cancer.
Here r 2 from #Taiwan and #China.
#HepB viral integration leading to mutations might be culprit?

Such important data. Would love to see this replicated in a different large cohort. If this holds up fundamentally shifts Rx decisions in #HBV away from a liver centric view. #LiverTwitter @ICE_HBV @HepBFoundation @swang8 @Hep_Alliance @EASLedu
🔥Interesting study on the risk of extrahepatic cancer in #HBV infection! @JCO_ASCO
doi.org/10.1200/JCO.21.01285
✅30,413 pts -> 3.9% cancers
👉NA treatment: 28% risk⬇️
but risk for #RCC & BC⬆️
and risk for #HCC and #Cholangiocarcinoma not ⬇️
👉be aware!

Free #HBV, #HCV & #HIV screening for the general population. Donate blood at a reputable blood bank and if you are rejected, ask why.
#ICantWait for countries to provide free screening for everyone.
