Estudio vincula alrededor de una octava parte de los casos de cáncer 2024 a infecciones prevenibles

Salud

La Agencia Internacional para la Investigación del Cáncer (IARC) informó que un estudio publicado en The Lancet Oncology estimó que cerca de una de cada ocho nuevas incidencias de cáncer en 2024 — unos 2,3 millones de casos — estaban vinculadas a infecciones, y que muchas de ellas son prevenibles mediante vacunación, cribado y terapia. Gizmodo, citando un análisis de la OMS, señaló que doce agentes infecciosos fueron responsables de ese 12 % de los casos, destacando a Helicobacter pylori y al virus del papiloma humano como los de mayor peso.

Fox News añadió que el VPH, H.  pylori, la hepatitis B y C figuraban entre los principales contribuyentes, mientras que Yahoo y el New York Post también mencionaron la cifra de 2,3 millones de casos.
