Breast and Gynecological Cancers: An Integrated Approach for Screening and Early Diagnosis in Developing Countries
| PUBLISHER | Springer (03/14/2013) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Hardcover (Hardcover) |
Description
Low- and middle-income countries have seen a dramatic rise in the incidence of breast and gynecological cancers in the past decade. Organized cancer screening programs are not widely available in developing countries, leading to disproportionately higher mortality rates compared to those in the developed world. This book addresses cost-effective strategies for implementing programs aimed at screening for the early detection of breast, cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers. A well woman clinic concept providing such services as part of women's health examinations is proposed, aiming to ensure patient compliance by limiting clinic visits required for initial testing and diagnosis of screen positive cases.
