Project description
Increasing screening to reduce cancer deaths
Screening for cancer followed by early treatment reduces mortality from colorectal, breast and cervical cancer, currently causing 155 000 deaths annually in eastern Europe. Screening in these countries is often less organised, leading to a lack of data, low coverage and minority groups being reached insufficiently. EU-TOPIA-EAST will improve the screening by investigating and implementing roadmaps developed under the first EU-TOPIA project. It will consider the local health and social systems in Georgia, Montenegro and Romania. The implemented programmes will be monitored using key indicators and EU-TOPIA tools, and by sophisticated decision models to predict the long-term benefits and harm-benefit ratios. Other (middle-income) countries will be involved in workshops, to share their experiences in improving screening programmes.
