加強食道癌意識:Castle Biosciences的合作行動




Castle Biosciences 加強對食道癌意識的承諾,通過合作夥伴關係推動相關教育

2025年4月8日,德克薩斯州朋友市——Castle Biosciences, Inc.(納斯達克:CSTL),一家通過創新測試改善健康的公司,正在支持一系列重要的教育計劃和倡議,以紀念食道癌意識月。該公司自豪地與食道癌行動網絡(ECAN)、美國前腸協會(AFS)及《Gut Doctor Podcast LLC》合作,推廣食道癌的預防、教育和倡導。

早期檢測至關重要

“由於食道癌通常在晚期被診斷,其五年生存率仍然令人擔憂,約為20%。”Castle Biosciences的董事會認證腸胃病專家及腸胃科醫學主任Emmanuel Gorospe醫生表示,“這使得早期檢測和預防變得至關重要。通過與倡導團體及腸胃社區的合作,我們致力於提高對食道癌風險因素的認識,並為患者和醫療專業人員提供有意義的支持。”

食道癌及其前期病變巴雷特食道(BE)的檢測面臨重大挑戰,因為主要症狀——胃灼熱和胃食管反流病(GERD)——在許多較不嚴重的病症中也常見,通常不會引起擔憂。醫生有很好的方法來消除有癌症風險的BE患者的癌前細胞。然而,挑戰在於找出美國150萬名BE患者中,哪些屬於0.5%會進展為癌症的患者。TissueCypher®是Castle針對BE患者的風險分層測試,旨在預測患者進展至高級別異型增生或食道癌的個體風險。了解哪些患者可能會進展為癌症,可以幫助醫生更早地進行治療,從而可能拯救他們的生命。

與ECAN的合作

Castle與ECAN合作,通過專門的食道癌意識月贊助,展開一項數字媒體活動和意識提升工具包,這些工具包包含小冊子、海報和手環,將分發給ECAN的支持者,以提高對食道癌的認識。媒體活動將強調幾個關鍵點:1)反流與癌症之間的聯繫,2)食道癌是可預防的,3)新技術為生命拯救提供了廣泛的機會,特別是在篩查/檢測、風險分層、診斷和治療等領域。此外,活動還將聚焦於受食道癌影響的人的故事,分享他們面對這一驚人診斷的經歷。

“提高認識是結束這種令人心碎的疾病的關鍵,這是美國男性中增長最快的癌症診斷,並且在年輕人中增長了三倍。”ECAN創始人、總裁兼首席執行官Mindy Mintz Mordecai表示,“ECAN的使命核心是拯救生命,我們感謝我們的企業合作夥伴和眾多支持者的支持,幫助我們通過教育、預防和意識倡導來實現這一使命。”

特別播客節目

Castle與美國前腸協會(AFS)合作,推出了一集特別的《All Fore Guts!》播客,名為《AFS慶祝食道癌意識月——進行篩查》,於4月1日推出。該集由AFS總裁及共同創始人Dan Lister醫生主持,與ECAN的Mordecai及ECAN董事會主席、南加州大學Keck醫學院上腸胃及普通外科主任John C. Lipham醫生進行討論,強調食道癌篩查的重要性。聽眾可以在美國前腸協會的網站或Spotify上收聽該集。

Castle還與《Gut Doctor Podcast LLC》的主持人Neil D. Parikh醫生合作,討論食道癌、常見風險因素及治療,以提高對該疾病的認識。該集將在《Gut Doctor Podcast》及主要播客流媒體平台上提供。

食道癌行動網絡(ECAN)簡介

食道癌行動網絡(ECAN)是一個非營利501(c)(3)組織,支持食道癌患者及其家庭。ECAN於2009年啟動食道癌意識月,旨在通過1)提高對反流病與癌症之間聯繫的認識來促進早期檢測,2)支持醫療創新以預防、檢測、治療和治癒食道癌,3)為患者及家庭提供最新、最可靠的醫療信息和同情支持來拯救生命。ECAN的堅持倡導在過去四年中使聯邦預算對食道癌研究的撥款增加了超過2000萬美元,未來幾年預計還會有更多資金投入。

我的看法

Castle Biosciences的這一系列舉措不僅顯示了他們對食道癌意識的重視,也反映了當前醫療界對早期檢測和預防的重要性認識。食道癌的低生存率令人擔憂,這促使醫療機構必須加強對風險因素的研究和公眾教育。透過與ECAN及其他機構的合作,Castle不僅在推廣科學知識,還在努力改變患者的命運。這種跨領域的合作模式值得其他醫療機構借鑒,因為只有通過集體努力,我們才能真正提高對癌症的認識,並改善患者的生活質量。
