National Cancer Screening Programs and Evidence-Based Healthcare Policy in South Korea

Author

  • Jung, Minsoo

Abstract

South Korea has managed its National Cancer Screening Program (NCSP) since 1999 with free cancer screenings for the five major types of cancer (stomach, liver, colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer). Despite the tremendous amount of government funding, the necessity of this policy and scientific evidence pertaining to it have been questioned.
