Presejanje za raka debelega črevesa in danke pri asimptomatski populaciji v starosti 50 do 69 let

Izhodišča. Pojavnost raka debelega črevesa in danke je v zadnjih desetletjih v razvitih deželah v porastu. V Sloveniji predstavlja drugi najpogostejši vzrok smrti zaradi raka. Po podatkih Registra raka je bila leta 2002 incidenca pri moških 68,5/100.000 prebivalcev, pri ženskah 49,8/100.000. Kljub vzpodbudnemu dejstvu, da se relativno 5-letno preživetje bolnikov s to boleznijo v zadnjem obdobju daljša, odkrijemo še vedno mnogo bolnikov, ko je bolezen že v napredovalem stadiju, z lokalnimi in oddaljenimi zasevki in je prognoza ter preživetje kljub kombiniranim oblikam zdravljenja slaba. Bolezen je ozdravljiva le, če jo ugotovimo in kirurško odstranimo v zgodnji razvojni stopnji. Zaključki. Rak črevesa predstavlja ozdravljivo bolezen, če preprečimo njeno preobrazbo iz premalignih adenomov ali ga odkrijemo in kirurško odstranimo v lokalno omejeni obliki. Za dolgoročen uspeh bo potrebna primerna ozaveščenost prebivalstva in udejanjanje priporočil

Screening for colorectal cancer - SVIT Programme

Po podatkih Registra raka se incidenca raka na debelem črevesu in danki v Sloveniji od leta 1961 povečuje. Največ primerov bolezni se odkrije, ko je ta v napredovali obliki. V obdobju 2005 - 2009 je bil rak na debelem črevesu odkrit v lokalno omejeni obliki le v 12,3 % in rak danke le v 14,9 %. Posledice se kažejo kot visoka stopnja umrljivosti, slaba kakovost življenja bolnikov in visoki stroški zdravljenja. V skladu s priporočili Evropskega sveta in Evropskimi smernicami za zagotavljanje kakovosti v presejanju za raka na debelem črevesu in danki se je v Sloveniji leta 2009 vzpostavil Državni program presejanja in zgodnjega odkrivanja predrakavih sprememb in raka na debelem črevesu in danki – Program Svit. Pozitivni učinki programa so se pokazali že po izvedbi prvega presejalnega kroga.According to the data of the Cancer Registry, the incidence of colorectal cancer in Slovenia has been increasing since 1961. Most cases of this disease are diagnosed when already at an advanced stage. In the period 2005-2009, colon cancer was detected in a locally-limited form only in 12.3% and rectal cancer only in 14.9%. The consequences are a high mortality rate, poor quality of life of patients, and high treatment costs. In line with the recommendations of the European Council and the European Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Colorectal Cancer Screening, Slovenia in 2009 established the National Programme for Screening and Early Detection of Pre-cancerous Lesions and Colorectal Cancer - the SVIT Programme. The positive effects of the Programme were seen already after the first round of screening

Roadmap to improve the organized cancer screening programs – The case of colorectal cancer screening in Montenegro

Background: Implementation of organized cancer screening programs comes with many challenges and barriers, which may inhibit the achievement of the screening activities’ desired benefits. In this paper we outline a plan for improving the colorectal cancer (CRC) screening system in Montenegro. Methods: We formulated a roadmap, which was generally defined as a country-specific strategic plan to improve cancer screening programs. The roadmap development was an iterative, step-by-step process. First, we described the current screening program, then identified and described key barriers, and finally proposed actions to overcome them. Multiple sources of information (e.g., documents, expert opinions) were collected and processed by local and international stakeholders. Results: The CRC screening program was implemented between 2013–2019 by gradually increasing the invitation of the target population. Key barriers of the implementation were defined: 1) Lack of colonoscopy capacity in the northern part of the country; 2) Inadequate information technology systems; 3) Inadequate public promotion of screening. The defined actions were related to overcoming lack of available resources (e.g., financial, human and technological), to improve the policy environment and the knowledge, and to facilitate information sharing. Conclusion: The collaboration between local stakeholders of CRC screening and researchers experienced in planning and evaluating screening programs resulted in the first comprehensive description of CRC screening in Montenegro, detailed understanding of key barriers that emerged during implementation and a carefully designed list of actions. The implementation of these actions and the evaluation of whether barriers were solved will be captured in the upcoming period by maintaining this collaboration.</p
