[Radiation diagnosis of tumors at four sites (the lung, breast, stomach, and large bowel) in the organizational and methodological standpoints of practical public health of the Russian Federation]
The basic idea of the paper is to put forth today's vision of detecting tumors at four sites (cancer of the lung, breast, stomach, and large bowel) at the level of municipal and regional public health systems. Based on their many years' experience in "contacting" this pathology, the authors characterize the role and significance of basic radiation techniques applied to each of these four tumors, which should be used in their diagnosis. The authors also underline the need for reasonably certifying radiation diagnostic apparatuses for municipal and regional public health systems, which would efficiently combine their diagnostic and economic profitability, which will be able to avoid materializing the potential of expensive radiation equipment by just 15-20% of its built-in efficiency. By taking into account the present epidemiological situation with each of the tumors in question and scientific-and-technological achievements of current diagnostic equipment, the authors underline the need for correcting diagnostic approaches applied in their detection. The paper also presents the opinion of the authors as to selective screening. They are sure that it is impossible without its use to gain even some moderate improvement of the results of diagnosis and hence those of treatment of tumors at four sites, which are all responsible for 50% of all malignancy. The idea that it is necessary to actively return radiation studies to the diagnosis of cancer of the lung, breast, stomach, and large bowel runs throughout the paper. As applied to tumors at each of these sites, the authors express their opinion as to their radiation diagnosis. Naturally, they could not ignore the fact that the authorities of medical industry in our country should take an active part in the solution of organizational problems touched upon in the paper.
