Download or read book Breast and Gynecological Cancers written by Mahesh K. Shetty and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
