Helicobacter Pylori Infection

“Infection with H. pylori is the identified 

primary cause of gastric cancer.”2

Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths in the world.2 With prolonged H. pylori infections the strongest known risk factor of gastric cancer, clearly H. pylori eradication should be at the forefront of patient care - especially for those patients with long-standing GI distress symptoms.

No More Flip of a Coin

An estimated 100 million patients in the United States are infected with H. pylori.3 Yet, less than 8 million non-invasive tests for H. pylori are ordered per year - and most of those tests are “inappropriately too common” serology tests that cannot discern between a past or an active H. pylori infection.4

We CAN Make A Difference

November is Gastric Cancer Awareness Month. Together, let’s make it Gastric Cancer ACTION Month by following the American College of Gastroenterology’s guidelines to screen symptomatic patients for H. pylori - and to do so with the highly recommended urea breath test.2The BreathID® Hp urea breath test systems for H. pylori testing are easy-to-use, patient-friendly diagnostic technologies with market-leading accuracy5 for both active infection detection and confirmation of eradication testing. Whether you want to quickly test with immediate results in-office, simply order the BreathID Hp from our lab partners, or want to integrate our automated lab system, let's talk today about how we can work together for your patients in the fight against the risks of H. pylori infections.
