Doctors say early screening of at-risk people can increase chances of a cure.

Fujifilm (Thailand) Co., Ltd. Continue to create innovations that help solve social problems and contribute to creating a sustainable society for the betterment of people around the world.Organize academic discussions on the topic “Improved HCC Surveillance Program using Triple HCC Biomarkers and GALAD Score in Thailand” (Development of the screening and surveillance potential of primary hepatocellular carcinoma with 3 carcinogenesis specific to primary hepatocellular carcinoma and the GALAD Score) for medical personnel. people in public health And the media understand the latest situation and guidelines for HCC liver cancer screening in Thailand. The forum was honored by qualified medical professors, including Professor Dr. Taweesak Tanwandee Head of the Department of Gastroenterology Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital Mahidol University andAssistant Professor Dr. Suphot Nimanong, Lecturer, Department of Gastroenterology Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital Mahidol University who come together to reveal the statistics of liver cancer in Thailand – around the world and challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of liver disease. The seminar was held in conjunction with the 18th Annual Academic Conference of the Liver Association of Thailand. “THASL Annual Meeting 2023” under the purpose of disseminating knowledge advances and new technologies to doctors and members

Professor Dr. Taweesak Tanwandee Head of the Department of Gastroenterology Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital Mahidol University Mentioned the statistics of liver cancer in Thailand and around the world that “The latest statistics reveal thatLiver cancer is the number one cancer 6 of the world But interestingly, liver cancer is the third leading cause of death worldwide.The reason for the high mortality rate from liver cancer is that it is detected later than other cancers. Since patients with liver cancer in the early stages usually do not show any symptoms, more than 100 percent of patients are not screened early. 80 Of the patients will know that they have cancer until it has reached the metastatic stage or the final stage. Some people have a lump 3-4 cm in size, still no symptoms. ForIn Thailand, it was found that liver cancer is the second most common cancer. 1 in males and ranks 4 in female Thailand has 25,000 cases of liver cancer per year, of which 12,000 cases are diagnosed as primary liver cancer. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) numbers suggest that routine screening and the availability of accurate screening technology will enable timely diagnosis and treatment.”

“Another factor that liver cancer is more common in Thai people and in Asia is because of the spread of hepatitis B and C viruses in Asia. Many people may not know that.Hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection can lead to cirrhosis. and risk of liver cancerYes, which the Ministry of Public Health has prevented by vaccinating against hepatitis B for newborns. In addition, pregnant mothers who are infected with the virus should be given medicine to prevent their babies from getting infected as well.” Prof. Dr. Taweesak Tanwandee, M.D. Reiterated the importance of vaccination

Assistant Professor Dr. Suphot Nimanong, Lecturer, Department of Gastroenterology Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital Mahidol University reveals new innovations that increase efficiency and accuracy in screening for liver cancer in the early stages “At present, screening for liver cancer in Thailand uses ultrasound. in conjunction with the examination of cancer markers in the blood (Tumor marker) called AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) Every 6 months in high-risk people such as cirrhosis patients People infected with hepatitis B virus, however, this method of testing is still unsatisfactory. Therefore, there is a search for new cancer markers to help increase the efficiency of disease diagnosis. Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University and Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University Two other types of hepatocellular carcinoma markers were tested in the blood as follows: PIVKA-II and AFP-L3 invented in Japan It was found that when all 3 indicators were used together, can increase efficiency in liver cancer screening If this test is used more widely in Thailand The chances of getting cancer diagnosed and treated at an early stage will increase.”

Khun Supatra Suparam Regional Sales and Marketing Manager (In Vitro Diagnostic Products) Medical Systems Business Division Fujifilm (Thailand) Co., Ltd. said, “The technology used in liver cancer screening in Japan is considered advanced and has been accepted around the world. From the statistics it was found thatPatients in Japan were diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma tumors as small as 2 centimeters in size and treated quickly. making liver cancer patients in Japan have the highest survival rate in the world because ofHighly sensitive and specific screening system based on both indicators AFP, PIVKA-II and AFP-L3 which Fujifilm has participated in helping diagnose From the innovation that developed reagents used for liver cancer screening as mentioned above”

at the 18th Annual Academic Conference of the Liver Association of Thailand “THASL Annual Meeting 2023” Fujifilm has presented a technology for measuring liver cancer markers in the blood from Japan. AFP-LP3 including solutions Fully Automated Immunoanalyzer at “mTASWako i30” Efficient and Accurate Comprehensive Blood Hepatocellular Analyzer Able to report blood results within 9 minutes and report up to 25 blood results per hour. It is another important solution that adds to Fujifilm’s lineup of comprehensive diagnostic medical solutions. As a global leader in One-Stop, Total Healthcare Solution, Thailand’s continued efforts to raise awareness of cancer screening and vaccination are in line with our mission to elevate the global public health community. Under the vision of Fujifilm to help solve social problems and help create a sustainable society. For the better health of everyone
