Abstract

This study analyzed the early cancer detection in Russia. Using data from the Russian Ministry of Health from 2005 to 2016, this study aims to evaluate relationships between the number of patients diagnosed with I-II stage of cancer with the number of preventive visits, screening tests, and expedited access to specialists. The results of de-trending time-series model indicate that the number of specialists in outpatient facilities and the number of patients' preventive visits positively affect the number of patients diagnosed with cancer for the first time and the number of patients diagnosed with I-II degree cancer. The Russian Federation's experience suggests that early detection of cancer can be achieved by increasing the number of early cancer screening facilities, providing free screening, and moderating geographical and time constraints that prevent people of different geographic and socio-economic backgrounds from being screened. Another strategy includes dispelling myths associated with cancer screening, fostering outreach and patient education, and assuring availability and timely referrals to specialists and laboratory work.
