ARE WE READY FOR THE GROWING THREAT OF VIRUS DEPENDENT CERVICAL CANCER AND THE INITIATION OF SCREENING IN CONDITIONS OF INSURANCE MEDICINE?
The dynamics is presented of the rates of virus dependent diseases, in particular cervical cancer (CC), which are directly connected with the level of organization of screening and subsequent treatment of cancer. It is shown that in conditions of insurance medicine a reduction of examination rooms and female enrollment in cytology screening is observed. As a result, over the past 5 years, CC incidence in the Novgorod region increased 1.2 times, and in Russia as a whole, the proportion of such cases in female population under 29 years since 2000 increased 4.5 times (from 2.0 % to 9 %). The urgent task of cancer control is to restore examination rooms, to overcome disagreements between government institutions and medical departments, to increase coverage of women by cytology screening by means of formation of the program of individual accounting of women.
