CIUDAD DE MÉXICO, 14 de octubre de 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Desde pruebas de alto valor diagnóstico, hasta tendencias innovadoras en el laboratorio clínico, el Foro IVD reúne a expertos y líderes de todo el mundo, para platicar de las últimas tendencias relacionadas al Diagnóstico In Vitro.

En América Latina, Roche lleva a cabo de forma bianual este evento; México es la sede este año con la asistencia de 150 participantes de 26 países: líderes de opinión, investigadores, líderes sociales, empresarios y directores de laboratorios públicos y privados.

"Roche Diagnostics busca transformar las prácticas del laboratorio y mejorar los cuidados del paciente, ofreciendo soluciones de alto valor médico. Las áreas de enfoque son patologías cardiacas, salud para la mujer, oncología, así como enfermedades metabólicas e infecciosas," declaró el Dr. Peter Matton, líder de Roche Diagnostics en América Latina.

Ser innovador es clave para Roche. En 2014, invertimos más del 18% de ventas totales en investigación y desarrollo, más que ninguna otra compañía de la industria. Con más de 10 millones de pruebas diagnósticas realizadas alrededor del mundo, no sólo somos la compañía más innovadora, sino también la más grande, creando valor para todos los interesados en nuestro negocio, mejorando la calidad de vida de los pacientes", afirmó el Dr. Ralph Schimmer, Director Médico y Jefe Global de Asuntos Médicos y Científicos, Roche Professional Diagnostics.

Nos enfocamos en dos grandes temas, por la relevancia en nuestra sociedad: Salud de la Mujer y enfermedades cardiacas.

En el mundo, cerca de 530,000 mujeres desarrollan cáncer cervicouterino anualmente y mueren cerca de 270,000 por este padecimiento que es altamente controlable, considerado el cuarto más frecuente en mujeres. La prueba de Papanicolaou (Pap) ha ayudado a reducir la tasa de mortalidad en, al menos, 80%. Sin embargo, 30% de mujeres con un Pap normal desarrollan cáncer cervicouterino. La prueba cobas HPV de Roche ofrece alta precisión para reducir estos números y aumentar la efectividad del tratamiento.

Por otra parte, la preeclampsia al ser una grave complicación del embarazo, causa severas consecuencias en la salud de la madre y el bebé. La prevalencia es de 1 en 20 embarazos, causando 4 de cada 10 muertes maternas, al año, en el mundo. Las nuevas pruebas de Roche ayudan a distinguir entre riesgo alto y bajo en el embarazo, ayudando al médico a tomar medidas adecuadas para el óptimo manejo de madre e hijo.

En el tema de cardiopatías, se sabe que un tercio de la población mundial, en algún momento de la vida, experimentará un ataque al corazón, de los que 50% no van a haber sido identificados por un electrocardiograma (ECG).

Pacientes con sospecha de ataque cardiaco deben de ser atendidos con rapidez. La prueba de alta sensibilidad Elecsys® Cardiac Troponin T permite al cardiólogo actuar con precisión al medir los niveles de Troponina T de forma más precisa y rápida que cuando se usa troponina cardiaca convencional.

El portafolio de Roche también cuenta con la prueba NTproBNP cuando hay sospecha de insuficiencia cardiaca, gracias a la cual el diagnóstico es certero  la prognosis ayudan al médico a tomar decisiones correctas para el tratamiento. La falla cardiaca se presenta cuando el corazón es incapaz de bombear suficiente sangre a todos los tejidos y órganos del cuerpo.

En América Latina, de acuerdo a estimaciones, el número de muertes ocasionadas por enfermedades cardiacas aumentará en 60% entre los años 2000 y 2020. En 2010, estas enfermedades fueron una de las principales causas de muerte en México.
