THE CURRENT STATE OF SCREENING PROGRAMS IN ONCOLOGY

Abstract

The main task carried out in the world of oncology screening programs is the active involvement of public in order to identify asymptomatic and early forms of cancer. The mortality rate reduction in the group of screening participants is the effectiveness evidence of such programs organization and conduct. In recent years, the issues of benefits and possible negative aspects of screening in reducing mortality from certain forms of cancer continue to be debated.
