APPROACHES TO INCREASING CANCER ALERTNESS AMONG PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS

Oncological diseases remain one of the pressing problems of modern medicine. According to WHO, more than 12 million cancer patients are registered annually in the world and 7 million people die from this disease. Despite the emergence of new methods for diagnosing malignant neoplasms (malignant neoplasms) (MRI, PETCT, etc.), the proportion of advanced cases of malignant neoplasms remains high. This is mainly due to the secrecy of the course in the early stages, the lack of oncological alertness among general practitioners, as well as the low level of oncological literacy among the population. Family clinics and consultative and diagnostic centers are the primary link in the process of establishing a diagnosis and timely detection of early symptoms of malignant neoplasms. The fate of the patient depends on the qualifications of the doctors of this unit. It should be noted that more than 90% of patients with various oncological diseases turn to these institutions.
