“…Nonetheless, rural areas have limited access to these services due to inadequate infra-structure and other related rural hindrances to healthcare facilities. Previous studies conducted abroad showed lower cancer screening rates in rural areas compared to urban areas due to socio economic disparity [ 41 , 42 , 43 ]. However, this could not be compared to the situation in Korea, as it has a NCSP.…”

We aimed to compare the gastric cancer screening rates between participants with diabetes and those without diabetes in the Korean population. The data of 4284 participants from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2019 were used. Cancer-free people aged ≥40 years were included, and cancer screening rates in diabetes and non-diabetes participants were analyzed. Baseline characteristics and screening rates were calculated using weighted frequencies and multivariable regression at a 95% confidence interval in both groups. Screening for gastric cancer was significantly lower (odd ratio [OR]: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.64–0.95) in patients with diabetes than in those without diabetes. The odds of performing the recommended gastric cancer screening were also lower (OR: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.58–0.90) in participants with diabetes than in those without diabetes. After adjusting for socio-demographic factors, the multivariable logistics regression analysis also showed lower odds for gastric cancer screening participation in diabetic patients than in non-diabetes participants. Conclusively, people with diabetes were less likely to have ever had or been recommended screening compared with those without diabetes. Greater efforts need to be made by health specialists to increase the awareness and the need of long-term preventive care including gastric cancer screening in high-risk groups.

“…3 Kao najznačajnije faktore, brojne studije su izdvojile faktore vezane za rizično seksualno ponašanje (rani početak seksualne aktivnosti, veći broj seksualnih partnera, SPB u anamnezi, faktore vezane za muškog partnera), dugotrajnu primenu oralnih kontraceptiva, sociodemografske faktore (loši socio-ekonomski uslovi, niži nivo obrazovanja, godine), kao i faktore vezane za organizaciju preventivne zdravstvene zaštite (nesprovođenje skrining programa). [4][5][6][7] Karcinom grlića materice je preventabilan ako se dijagnostikuje u ranoj fazi obolevanja, obzirom da ima dugu premalignu fazu, da je lečenje premalignih promena izuzetno efikasno, kao i zahvaljujući dobro organizovanim skrining programima. Krajem 2012. godine, primena organizovanog skrininga putem citologije (PAPA bris) je počela u šest Domova zdravlja -dva u Beogradu (Paliluala i Stari grad) i četiri u unutrašnjosti zemlje (Novi Sad, Niš, Kraljevo i Kruševac).…”

Ispitivanje faktora seksualnog ponašanja za obolevanje od karcinoma grlića materice sprovedeno je po tipu studije preseka. Ispitivanu populaciju čini 525 pacijentkinja, starosti od 18 do 69 godina.Rezultati. Identifikovana su tri faktora rizika za abnormalan PAPA test: rana seksualna aktivnost, veći broj seksualnih partnera i SPB u anamnezi.Zaključak. Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na potrebu uključivanja izabranih porodičnih lekara, kao i sestara i babica u patronažnoj službi domova zdravlja, u cilju identifikovanja populacije žena sa povećanim rizikom za obolevanje od cervikalnog karcinoma.Ključne reči: neoplazije grlića materice; Papanikolau test; seksualno ponašanje.

“…Žene iz ruralnih područja Srbije su u povećanom riziku za rak grlića materice u odnosu na žene urbanih područja, obzirom da su manje obrazovane, lošijeg socio-ekonomskog statusa, starije životne dobi i ređe sprovode preventivne prakse za rak grlića materice. 4 Nedostatak znanja žena u Srbiji o reproduktivnom zdravlju, loši stavovi ginekologa i lične prepreke povezane sa negativnim iskustvom u primarnoj zdravstvenoj zaštiti, uslovljavaju nizak prioritet preventivne prakse, kako za žene, tako i za ginekologe. 5,6 To su razlozi što se traže alternativne metode skrininga.…”
