Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality in Croatia, with more than 3300 new diagnoses and over 2800 deaths recorded in 2021. To address late-stage diagnosis and high mortality, the Ministry of Health initiated a national, fully reimbursed screening programme built into existing services. The design combines low-dose computed tomogr1Read more

Organised cervical screening seeks to identify human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and cervical abnormalities early enough for follow-up and treatment before invasive disease develops. Cervical cancer remains a major cause of mortality among women, with global estimates for 2020 indicating hundreds of thousands of diagnoses and deaths. In Irel1Read more

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading global burden, with approximately 1.9 million cases and 0.9 million deaths recorded in 2020. Screening is central to prevention because removing adenomatous polyps can interrupt progression to malignancy. In many programmes, faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) is offered every two years, while CT colo1Read more

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer mortality in women, claiming more lives each year than breast and ovarian cancers combined. Low-dose CT can reduce lung cancer deaths by at least 20 percent through detection at earlier, more treatable stages and evidence indicates that women may benefit even more than men from annual screening.1Read more

Lung cancer remains the deadliest form of cancer in the European Union, in part due to the lack of systematic screening programmes. France is now set to shift this trajectory through IMPULSION, an innovative pilot initiative aimed at improving early detection among high-risk groups. The programme is grounded in scientific evidence and shaped 1Read more

Breast cancer remains a major health concern, accounting for a quarter of all cancer diagnoses among women globally. Population-based mammography screening programmes (PMSPs) have become a cornerstone of early detection strategies. To increase participation, many European initiatives, including the Flemish PMSP, use pre-scheduled appointments1Read more
