Lisa Schwartz and Steven Woloshin of the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy discuss the benefits and harms of cancer screening and highlight popular misconceptions about cancer screening statistics.
Professor Julietta Patnick, Director of the NHS Cancer Screening Programmes, has said this number is nearer an estimated four or five lives saved and four or five women being unnecessarily treated.
Studies of colorectal cancer screening effectiveness“have demonstrated failures at each step in the screening process, which are associated with increased[colorectal cancer] mortality,” the study authors wrote.
In 2004, despite the proven fact that cancer screening is effective in reducing cancer mortality rate, cancer screening rate was at the level of 20%, overwhelmingly low compared with other countries.
NCI has made significant investments in research over many decades to improve prevention, cancer screening, and early detection, as well as to increase uptake of effective prevention strategies so that fewer people will be diagnosed with cancer and suffer from its physical, financial, social, and psychological harms.
In 2010, we expanded the effort to cover Fujifilm and other Group companies, started an intranet project for our employees called"Go Receive Cancer Screening!" held various awareness programs, such as seminars for employees on cancer, and promotional programs, and engaged in a variety of other activities designed to improve the cancer screening rate.
