Background: This study was conducted to enumerate the results of screening for non-communicable diseases in the NCD clinic over a period of one year in a tertiary health centre.Methods: The results from screening tests conducted in the NCD clinic, for detecting hypertension, diabetes mellitus, breast cancer and cervical cancer, in Government tertiary care Hospital for Women, Chennai, were recorded. The flowchart and screening methods followed were those recommended by the NHM - NPCDCS. Data thus obtained was analyzed using standard statistical methods.Results: Of 42,519 women screened for common non communicable diseases - hypertension, diabetes mellitus, breast cancer and cervical cancer, nearly 5.55% women (n = 2359) had positive results, for any one of the diseases screened. Of 11,708 women screened for diabetes mellitus and 13,971 screened for hypertension, positive results were found in 856 women and 1,216 women respectively. Around 7,568 women were screened for cervical cancer and 175 women tested positive. A large number of 9,272 women were screened for breast cancer and 112 women had positive results. As per the guidelines, women who tested positive for screening tests were referred to the concerned departments in RGGGH.Conclusions: Nearly 42,519 women were screened for common non-communicable diseases (NCDs) - hypertension, diabetes mellitus, breast cancer and cervical cancer, and 5.55% women had positive test results for any one of the diseases screened. The screening revealed, 8.7% of women had raised blood pressure, 7.31% had raised blood sugar levels, 1.21% women had positive screening test results for breast cancer, and 2.31% women for cervical cancer.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths for women worldwide. Early diagnosis of cervical cancer may be done by a simple and cost effective technique of Pap smear. The morbidity and mortality could be significantly reduced with an active cervical cancer screening programme.Methods: A cross sectional interview based study was done among 200 patients attending Obstetrics and Gynaecology OPD of one of the tertiary care hospital at Lalitpur, to assess the knowledge and awareness of patient regarding screening methods of cervical cancer and its prevention and early detection. Results: Among all the participants, 76.5% (n-153) were literate and 23.5% (n-47) were illiterate. Only 41% had heard about the Pap test and only 1% had heard about other methods of screening test like VIA(Visual Inspection with Acetic acid). Only 16% think that infection of the genital tract and 12.5% think that multiple partners is the leading cause of cervical cancer. Among them 51% (n-102) think that regular screening will prevent cervical cancer. But only 22.5% (45) had done Pap smear once and 67% did not know the risk factor of cervical cancer.  Only 7% had heard of HPV vaccination but did not know  details about it.Conclusions: There is very low level of knowledge about cervical cancer, Pap smear and HPV among the participants attending Obstetrics and Gynaecology OPD. For using Pap smear as a preventive method for cervical cancer, it is necessary to inform women about cervical cancer and the Pap smear test. An aggressive campaign with in depth teaching about cervical cancer by media and health care providers is mandatory.

Screening Programs

Cervical cancer is the fourth most frequently occurring cancer in women around the world and can affect them during their reproductive years. Since the development of the Papanicolaou (Pap) test, screening has been essential in identifying cervical cancer at a treatable stage. With the identification of the human papillomavirus (HPV) as the causative agent of essentially all cervical cancer cases, HPV molecular screening tests and HPV vaccines for primary prevention against the virus have been developed. Accordingly, comparative studies were designed to assess the performance of cervical cancer screening methods in order to devise the best screening strategy possible. This review critically assesses the current cervical cancer screening methods as well as the implementation of HPV vaccination in Europe. The most recent European Guidelines and recommendations for organized population-based programs with HPV testing as the primary screening method are also presented. Lastly, the current landscape of cervical cancer screening programs is assessed for both European Union member states and some associated countries, in regard to the transition towards population-based screening programs with primary HPV testing.

Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women. WHO data states that in 2018 an estimated 627,000 women die from breast cancer or approximately 15% of all cancer deaths among women. However, the survival of patients with breast cancer is quite high when detected early. Posbindu PTM RW 08 Air Putih is a posbindu guided by FK UNRI to prevent and control non-communicable diseases, including breast cancer. Therefore, increasing the ability of Posbindu PTM cadres to conduct BSE socialization (Self Breast Examination) is necessary. The form of community service is BSE training in the community and Posbindu PTM cadres. In addition, participants were facilitated for examinations by specialist doctors. The activity was attended by 16 participants, beginning with the material about Posbindu PTM, breast cancer, BSE practice and screening for participants who have symptoms of breast cancer. Evaluation of activities was assessed by active participation and community response to the question and answer session. Participants can also re-practice BSE. The results of the examination of three participants who were examined by a doctor, suspected (suspect) 1 person FAM, 1 person Carcinoma mammae, and 1 other person did not. The suspected participants were suggested to immediately conduct a clinical examination and ask the RW to help them obtaining BPJS.

Currently Indonesia is undergoing a change in the pattern of diseases called epidemiological transitions characterized by increased mortality and illness due to non-communicable diseases (PTM) such as stroke, heart disease, diabetes, cancer and others. Cancer is a group of non-communicable diseases caused by growth body cells that are not normal. Cancer is the leading cause of death in the world, and. most cancers experienced by women is cervical cancer. According to experts, cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable types of cancer. Risk factors for cancer include: genetic factors, infectious factors, lifestyle factors, and physical activity factors. Therefore, pre-cancerous lesion screening is very important because the treatment can cure up to 100%. Whereas in invasive cancer, the use of lesions gives less satisfactory results with a life expectancy of 5 years, which is between 20% -90%. Based on field observations and interviews with Posbindu cadres, information was obtained that there were still many mothers who had not done IVA tests, for reasons they did not know, were ashamed and were afraid if they later discovered the type of disease they were suffering from. The target of this activity is the Posbindu group in RT 14 and 15,  Kelurahan Murni. Kecamatan Danau Sipin, amounting to 15 people. The purpose of this community service after socialization and health education is able to understand and be motivated and take part in conducting IVA tests. The results obtained with the socialization and health education of post cadre cadre leaders and members and the community increase knowledge and behavior changes.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the patterns and trends of colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer screening within a contemporary cohort of Canadian adults. Methods: Canadian Community Health Survey datasets (2007–2016) were accessed and 3 cohorts were defined: (1) a colorectal cancer (CRC) screening cohort, defined as men and women aged 50 to 74 years with complete information about CRC screening tests and their timing; (2) a breast cancer screening cohort, defined as women aged 40 to 74 years with complete information about mammography and its timing; and (3) a cervical cancer screening cohort, defined as women aged 25 to 69 years with complete information about the Papanicolaou (Pap) test and its timing. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was then performed to evaluate factors associated with not having timely screening tests at the time of survey completion. Results: A total of 99,820 participants were considered eligible for the CRC screening cohort, 59,724 for the breast cancer screening cohort, and 46,767 for the cervical cancer screening cohort. Among eligible participants, 43% did not have timely recommended screening tests for CRC, 35% did not have timely mammography (this number decreased to 26% when limiting the eligible group to ages 50–74 years), and 25% did not have a timely Pap test. Lower income was associated with not having a timely recommended screening tests for all 3 cohorts (odds ratios [95% CI]: 1.86 [1.76–1.97], 1.89 [1.76–2.04], and 1.96 [1.79–2.14], respectively). Likewise, persons self-identifying as a visible minority were less likely to have timely recommended screening tests in all 3 cohorts (odds ratios for White race vs visible minority [95% CI]: 0.87 [0.83–0.92], 0.85 [0.80–0.91], and 0.66 [0.61–0.70], respectively). Conclusions: More than one-third of eligible individuals are missing timely screening tests for CRC. Moreover, at least one-quarter of eligible women are missing their recommended breast and cervical cancer screening tests. More efforts from federal and provincial health authorities are needed to deal with socioeconomic disparities in access to cancer screening.
