Whether cancer can be cured depends largely on how early it is detected. Most cancers have no symptoms at early stages, which makes diagnosis harder, and treatment often becomes less effective.
The Sumy Regional Clinical Oncology Center offers modern screening examinations that help detect cancer at early stages. Thanks to the Program of Medical Guarantees, these services are free of charge for patients who have an e-referral from a doctor.
Here are 5 key examinations you can have:
▫️ Mammography – examination of the breasts.
▫️ Gastroscopy – examination of the esophagus and stomach.
▫️ Colonoscopy – examination of the large intestine.
▫️ Cystoscopy – examination of the bladder.
▫️ Bronchoscopy – examination of the trachea and bronchi.
Also guaranteed with these examinations:
- a doctor's consultation;
- analysis and a written report of the results;
- anesthesia (local or general), if needed.
See your family doctor or attending doctor. If there are indications, the doctor will issue an e-referral that allows you to have these examinations free of charge. Early detection is a chance for successful treatment. Don't put off an examination if you have concerns or your doctor recommends one.
