Oncologist of the 6th city polyclinic of Naberezhnye Chelny identified 22 cases of cancer in three months: all in the early stages
In just 10 months, about 311 oncological diseases were detected in the city polyclinic No. 6, which underlines the effectiveness of the ongoing medical examination.
According to the oncologist, the work of primary care physicians plays an important role. It is the district doctors who are the first to detect skin changes that patients often do not consider serious. Working in tandem allowed oncologists of the polyclinic to diagnose 12 skin growths on time.
Alexander Vitalievich stressed that attempts to make a diagnosis on their own using the Internet or the advice of friends are not only ineffective, but also dangerous. Early detection will significantly reduce the volume and aggressiveness of treatment.
"The Internet does not make diagnoses. This can only be done by a doctor. Early diagnosis saves lives," says an experienced doctor.
