There is therefore an urgent need to closely monitor performance and to review programme policies and procedures with the aim of increasing both the participation rate and the proportion of women eligible to attend screening.
The organized screening programme managed to increase moderately the coverage of target population. In order to realize the mortality decline due to cervical cancer, participation rate must be increased.
Theoretically, there is a real prospect for full eradication of cervical cancer by cytology screening. In several countries the burden of cervical cancer significantly decreased due to regular screening of the population. In Hungary, the complex "gynecological screening", including colposcopic examination, has a long tradition, however, the efforts of several decades are not reflected in the mortality: about 500 women are killed by cervical cancer each year. The screening protocol represents a compromise between the traditional "gynecological screening" and the internationally recommended organized screening: taking sample for cytology is an essential element of the gynecological examination. The National Public Health Programme has established the technical and organizational preconditions of an organized screening programme. The early experiences with the "call-and-recall" organized screening -- started at the end of 2003 -- are unfavourable, because the compliance rates are unacceptably low. The majority of the women receive screening in a traditional way, i.e. outside the programme; another proportion of them simply ignores the invitation, and does not accept the offered screening. To improve the current situation, following the recommendation of "the-state-of-the-art", an attempt is made to intensify the involvement of the primary care personnel. There is a need to revise the current financing system by the political decision-makers in the health field. The access to the screening facilities needs to be improved, the attitude of the medical community changed, and the efficiency of the communication with the public significantly improved.
A129(anti-VEGF) were estimated based on prices established by Brazilian Drug Market Regulation Chamber. RESULTS: Nine studies were included: eight SR and one HTA. All reviews showed weak strength of recommendation and moderate to high quality of evidence. Sorafenib showed a median progression free-survival time around 6 months and was more effective than placebo, equally effective than interferon, and less effective than sunitinib. Patients who received sorafenib had a higher risk of suffering major adverse events.
The "gynecological screening" that is composed of complex gynecological examination including colposcopy and cytological examinations has traditionally been incorporated into the gynecological protocol and practice. Over the past few decades, unfortunately, this screening practice has entrenched in the mind both of the gynecological community and the general public. As a result, the government-supported, organized cervical screening program of the population has come to a standstill. In order to adjust the cervical screening practice to the international public health recommendations in which cytology is the only screening test applied, the authors decided to involve primary care nurses and health visitors in smear taking, and to refer those with abnormal findings to a gynecologist for further clinical examination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
