Medical check-up is a set of measures aimed at active detection of chronic non-communicable diseases and their risk factors, which may cause premature mortality in Russia. This is about the detection of circulatory diseases, cancer, diabetes mellitus and respiratory diseases. Screening is the main task of the medical check-up and is aimed, among other things, at cancer detection. The preliminary analysis of the situation showed that one of the characteristic problems in the primary healthcare organization is the absence of developed routing schemes for patients in the frame of cancer screening at the level of both constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and individual healthcare providers.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the quality of cancer screening conducted as a part of preventive medical examinations and check-up of certain groups of adults in the Sakhalin region, Chuvash Republic and Moscow region.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Findings from Statistical Reporting Form №12 «Data on the number of diseases in patients living in the medical provider’s service area» and industrial statistical reporting forms №131/o for 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 yrs. of the Sakhalin region, Chuvash Republic and Moscow region were used for analysis.
RESULTS
The obtained results, as well as earlier performed analysis of regional normative legal acts, regulating routing of patients in the frame of preventive measures, suggest a direct interdependence of maturity of normative legal regulation of the processes of carrying out preventive measures at the level of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the proportion amount of actively detected cancers.
CONCLUSION
Assessment of cancer screening’s quality, conducted as a part of preventive medical examinations and check-up of certain adult groups in the subject, should contribute to the elimination of defects of organization and normative legal regulation of the processes of carrying out preventive measures at the level of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. This regulation will also help to improve the statistical record and increase the orientation of healthcare providers for the implementation of screening in priority population groups. Furthermore, it will contribute to the growth of objective efficacy indicators of not only screening examinations, but also overall preventive measures.
