Excerpt

The pathogenesis of human B-cell lymphoma is not well understood, although some types of B-cell lymphoma seem to be related to infection with pathogens such as Helicobacter pylori [1]. Accumulating evidence reveals a high incidence of B-cell lymphoma in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, suggesting a link between HCV infection and the development of B-cell lymphoma [26]. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
