A multistate hepatitis A outbreak has been linked to clams that have since been recalled, according to health reporting. Officials are tracing infections back to the contaminated shellfish, and consumers are being urged to check whether they purchased the affected product. The recall raises fresh questions about shellfish safety screening in the supply chain.

Health experts highlight that roughly one in eight cancer cases worldwide are caused by infections, such as viruses and bacteria. They stress that this makes many of these cancers preventable through vaccination and treatment of infectious diseases, renewing calls for wider vaccine coverage, including HPV and hepatitis B immunisation, as a key tool in global cancer prevention efforts.

Roughly one in eight cancer cases globally is attributed to infectious pathogens, chiefly human papillomavirus, Helicobacter pylori, and hepatitis B and C viruses. The figure is drawing attention because many of these cancers are preventable through vaccination, such as HPV shots, along with screening and antiviral or antimicrobial treatment. Health advocates are using the estimate to argue for wider vaccine coverage and earlier detection programs.

Health officials have confirmed cases of hepatitis A at two primary schools in a UK city, with warning letters sent to parents advising them on symptoms and hygiene precautions. The news is spreading as families seek details on which schools are affected and whether further cases may emerge.

A report highlighted by Live Science finds that roughly one in eight cancer cases worldwide is caused by infections, such as viruses and bacteria. Experts say the figures underscore the importance of vaccination, with shots against HPV and hepatitis B capable of preventing a substantial share of these cancers.

New coverage highlights that roughly one in eight cancers worldwide are caused by infections. Reports point to common pathogens — with one culprit reportedly surpassing HPV as the biggest contributor — and stress that many of these cancers are preventable through vaccination, screening and treating infections such as HPV, hepatitis B and C, and H. pylori. Doctors are urging the public to learn the risks and simple protective steps.

Roughly one in eight cancer cases worldwide is caused by infections, according to experts cited by Live Science. They highlight that viruses and bacteria such as HPV and hepatitis play a significant role in cancer development, underscoring the importance of vaccination and prevention efforts. The finding is drawing attention to how many cancers could be prevented through wider vaccine coverage and screening.

Health experts report that roughly one in eight cancer cases worldwide is caused by infections, such as viruses and bacteria. They stress that vaccination and infection prevention could substantially reduce cancer rates, highlighting vaccines against HPV and hepatitis B as key tools for lowering the global cancer burden.
