In a trans-Pacific health alliance, top surgeons from Beijing and Chicago are swapping strategies to combat liver cancer and hepatitis B – proving science knows no borders! 🩺
Vaccines & Vigilance
China's hepatitis B vaccination game is STRONG 💪: Over 95% of newborns get all three vaccine doses, smashing WHO's 2030 target a decade early. 'The number of young kids with HBV has plummeted to 0.3% – that's like vaccinating a small country every year!' says Prof. Mao Yilei from Peking Union Medical College Hospital.
Catch It Early, Beat It Better
Dynamic duo Mao and University of Chicago's Prof. Michael Millis agree: Regular checkups are key 🩸. High-risk patients should get ultrasounds or CT scans every 6 months. 'Finding liver cancer early is like spotting a typo before hitting send – total game-changer,' Millis quipped in the CGTN interview.
Brainstorming Across Oceans
From student exchanges to virtual conferences, these docs are building a bridge of medical know-how 🌉. Next up? Joint research projects that could give liver cancer the one-two punch!
