EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY

Uterus cancers

• ICD 180: Cervical cancer

• ICD 182: Corpus uteri cancer

• ICD 179: Uterus cancers, not specified

• On the basis of overall national death certificates, it is not possible to analyze mortality from cervical cancer in Europe, since 20-65% of deaths from uterine cancer in largest countries are still certified as uterus, unspecified

• To estimate cervical cancer mortality we used death rates for uterine cancers (ICD 179, 180, 182) in women aged 20-44, since most deaths from uterine cancer below the age of 45 years arise from the cervix

- Analyze the European guidelines to implement/promote/reconstruct cervical cancer screening in countries with increasing mortality trends

- Describe the opportunistic/programmed cervical cancer screening in those countries at present time

- Find difficulties and problems with specific assessment studies in these Eastern European countries

- Connect all the previous points with other European networks (EUNICE, European Cancer Screening networks)

For countries without programs:For countries without programs:ASSESSMENT STUDIESASSESSMENT STUDIES

• Understand how servicesservices for cervical cancer screening and treatment currently are, or could potentially be, organized and delivered

• Identify the key organizationskey organizations involved in delivering these services, including potential leaders, coordinators, or area supervisors

• Define the level of available resourceslevel of available resources and assess how services could be financed

• Document the systemsystem for requesting and purchasing equipment and supplies, and for improving infrastructure

• Prevention examination program (12.2004):– Age 20-35: PAP smear has to be done one time per year

initially and, if the results of examination are without the pathological findings, every 3 years

– Age 35-70: PAP smear has to be done one time per year• Health care reform aims at driving health care to GPs• BUT: 76% of women felt that they could not trust their GP to

perform a PAP Smear (Source: Survey Reproductive health of the population)

ESTONIA PROBLEMS OF THE ORGANISED PROBLEMS OF THE ORGANISED SCREENING PROGRAMSCREENING PROGRAM

P. Veerus - Estonia (2006)

• Low participation: Only 21.7% of the 12,960 invited women attended the screening

• No funds for screening registry

• No invitation of women without insurance (~5% of population)

• To use experience from other countries to produce successful campaigns • Group of pressure for invitation of women without insurance• Money for starting the organization of screening registry

- To create relations with groups of pressure with national health ministries and with European Parliament

- To share information with other networks

- For countries without cervical screening programs: to study specific problems for implementation of screening programs and to find solutions to these problems

- For countries with cervical screening programs: to help specific activities that at the moment are not subsidize (ex: screening registry, centralisation of the invitation system)
