According to him, the new medical facilities will accept the first patients by the end of the year.
The minister also noted that today doctors detect more than half of oncological diseases at an early stage, when cancer is curable. The statistics improve every year. He stressed that today free examinations are also carried out on the population in new regions, where specialists from national cancer research medical centers travel. They train local doctors and select patients for treatment at federal clinics.
“The sooner an oncological disease is detected and treatment is started, the higher the chances of obtaining an effective result and returning to a healthy life,” says Andrey Kaprin, independent chief oncologist.
According to the Ministry of Health, about 600,000 new cases of malignant neoplasms are detected in Russia every year, and about four million people are registered in dispensaries. The re-equipment of oncology clinics in the regions continues.
