CIDADE DO MÉXICO, 14 de outubro de 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- De testes de alto valor diagnóstico até tendências inovadoras em laboratórios clínicos, o Fórum de IVD reúne especialistas e líderes do mundo todo para debater as últimas tendências em diagnóstico in vitro.

Na América Latina, a Roche realiza esse evento a cada dois anos. Este ano, ele ocorrerá no México e contará com a presença de 150 participantes de 26 países: líderes de opinião, pesquisadores, líderes sociais, empresários e diretores de laboratórios públicos e privados.

"A Roche Diagnostics deseja transformar as práticas laboratoriais e melhorar os cuidados com o paciente, ao oferecer soluções de alto valor médico. As principais áreas são: doenças cardíacas, saúde da mulher, oncologia e doenças metabólicas e infecciosas", afirmou o Dr. Peter Matton, diretor da Roche Diagnostics na América Latina.

"A inovação é essencial para a Roche. Em 2014, investimos mais de 18% das vendas totais em pesquisa e desenvolvimento, mais que qualquer outra empresa do setor. Com mais de 10 milhões de testes diagnósticos realizados no mundo todo, somos a maior e mais inovadora empresa do setor e geramos valor para todos os interessados em nosso negócio, melhorando a qualidade de vida dos pacientes", afirmou o Dr. Ralph Schimmer, diretor médico e chefe global de assuntos médicos e científicos da Roche Professional Diagnostics.

Focamos em dois grandes temas importantes para nossa sociedade: saúde da mulher e doenças cardíacas.

No mundo todo, cerca de 530.000 mulheres por ano desenvolvem câncer cérvico-uterino e aproximadamente 270.000 falecem em decorrência dessa doença, que é altamente controlável e é o quarto tipo de câncer mais frequente entre as mulheres. O teste de Papanicolau (Pap) ajudou a reduzir a taxa de mortalidade em pelo menos 80%. No entanto, 30% das mulheres com um Papanicolau normal desenvolvem câncer cérvico-uterino. O teste cobas HPV da Roche oferece alta precisão para reduzir esses números e aumentar a eficácia do tratamento.

Por outro lado, a pré-eclâmpsia é uma complicação grave na gravidez e pode causar consequências sérias à saúde da mãe e do bebê. Ela ocorre em uma em cada 20 gravidezes e é a causa de quatro em cada dez mortes maternas por ano, no mundo todo. Os novos testes da Roche ajudam a diferenciar entre o risco alto e o baixo na gravidez, o que ajuda o médico a tomar medidas adequadas para o tratamento ideal da mãe e do filho.

Em relação às doenças cardíacas, sabemos que um terço da população mundial, em algum momento da vida, sofrerá um ataque cardíaco, dos 50% que não terão sido identificados por um eletrocardiograma (ECG).

Pacientes com suspeita de ataque cardíaco devem ser atendidos com rapidez. O teste de alta sensibilidade Elecsys® Cardiac Troponin T permite que o cardiologista aja com precisão para medir os níveis de Troponina T de maneira mais precisa e rápida, comparado com a troponina cardíaca convencional.

A carteira da Roche também conta com o teste NTproBNP, em casos de suspeita de insuficiência cardíaca, que permite o diagnóstico e prognóstico certeiros, que ajudam o médico a tomar as decisões corretas em relação ao tratamento. A insuficiência cardíaca ocorre quando o coração não é capaz de bombear sangue suficiente para todos os tecidos e órgãos do corpo.

Com base em algumas estimativas, na América Latina, o número de mortes causadas por doenças cardíacas aumentará 60% entre os anos 2000 e 2020. Em 2010, essas doenças representaram uma das principais causas de morte no México.
