the importance of early detection
early detection of cancer is probably almost always beneficial in terms of cancer treatment. If the cancer is found before it has spread locally or metastatic, treatment will provide better results. Early to-wheel team may, in some cases (e.g. prostate cancer), however, leads to a situation in which the treatment may cause more harm than untreated failure. The pursuit of early detection of cancer is, however, generally appropriate.
Early detection can be improved by increasing the awareness of the population in the early stages of cancer in legal circles, on the one hand by improving the skills of health care professionals in early detection. It is also important to ensure that adequate health care resources, particularly in primary healthcare.
Today, there is no accurate information available on how any cancer, early examinations delay the initiation of treatment, but some cancers are concerned, this is a prognostic importance. A related research would be needed more.
The provision of information is increasing and the data becomes fragmented
changes in the communication environment is also affected by cancer, and information on the supply-side of its early detection. Turn of the millennium were published in newspapers and magazines Articles an average of about 5 000 Kelia cancer per year. Today, it is impossible to assess cancer articles on the whole network.
Social network is also a wealth of information on cancer, but its appropriateness varies greatly. is central to the population in terms of conceptualization of reliable information sources. Health Library and Cancer maintained by the organizations pages are also useful in early detection of this ratio.
cancer-related advisory services
Apart from raising public awareness must take care of people's opportunities to get expert advisory vontaa on cancer issues. In addition to this health care advice have ensured After filling in the kingdom of covering the entire Organization will advice network as well as through a nationwide telephone counseling.
Counseling services as a key element in addition to the informational support is a psycho-social support. These are discussed in more detail in the section of rehabilitation aid (Chapter 5).
Luomitarkastustoiminta
In addition to counseling is arranged in a service that aims to reduce concerns about cancer. Luomitar- audit activity Cancer Society began in the 1990s, and the operation is also evaluated. Functioning as a primary aim has not been to find a new skin cancers, but the reduction concerns, as well as healthy and safe sun behavior for advice. Trained nurses and doctors have audited the tens of thousands already created, and expertise on the subject has also increased among the population. For this the operation is discussed in greater detail in section comprising radiation.
Periytyvyysneuvonta
The vast majority of cancer cases arises from the combined action of the genome and of external factors such as environment and lifestyles. Current estimates of the susceptibility to hereditary accompanied by a small portion, or about ten percent of common cancers, such as breast, prostate and colon cancers. the risk of hereditary cancer can find out the Cancer Society periytyvyysneuvonnassa, which is organized by the provincial cancer organizations and cancer organizations nationwide counseling service. Periytyvyysneuvonnan purpose is to find out if cancer susceptibility person worried inheritance worth further exploring.
Cancer Organizations periytyvyysneuvontatyötä to make educated nurses. Surveys of family counseling in cancer cases, and based on them drawn in the tree, which illustrates the risk of hereditary cancer. the need for future reports, estimated familiar with the Cancer Society periytyvyysneuvontaan asiantuntijalääkä- ri, which is a genetic disease or cancer specialist. If the family data refer to the average higher susceptibility to cancer, follow-up report by a technical expert doctor makes the client a referral university hospital clinical genetics unit. Periytyvyysneuvonnan connection is also provided related to the promotion of health education.
related to the actual susceptibility to cancer genetic counseling gives genetics clinical genetics unit. He will also take a position on whether the client to assess the risk of cancer geenitutkimuk- the public, and will work with the customer how his case of cancer could be prevented or recognized as an early stage.
The role of primary health care and early detection of occupational health care
One example of the early detection of activities aiming is the introduction of the PSA test, for example. occupational health care. The test is not suitable in itself very well for the early detection, but because the test is there, it has also been used in abundance. Also, the test patterns and the recommendations made on the basis of the results of health care disposables measures have changed over time. It is unclear whether the use of the test was the impact of cancer mortality, morbidity, but it has had a lot effect.
This PSA example shows a potentially broader prospects: when genetic testing improves the availability, many people believe that it is possible to at least improve their own awareness of the risks. TA system can also lead to early detection of improvement, but it is also possible that this does not happen. One problem of genetic testing in the information in its specificity is low, if people only testipositiivisista
a relatively small part of the receiver in the screening of apparent disease. In this case, the test generates a lot of unnecessary further investigation and action. On the other hand, if the changed gene is very rare, population-based screening is not out of the question, but the target demographic of the tests should be limited to eg. The risk of genera.
Primary care skills early detection and identification of possible symptoms and renewed misessa will improve training. If a large part of the follow-up of cancer therapy specialist level goes to the medical care, increasing the number of cancer patients in primary care, mineral EV can affect the level of knowledge. Currently, follow-up is arranged in varying degrees in different parts of Finnish. Part of the country cancer treatment center for transfer controls at an early stage to basic health care. In other centers is again planned to take advantage of new technological tools for monitoring, when the reception operations can be targeted to those patients who need it most. Thus, the resources and expertise will be utilized in the best possible way.
Today, primary care physician face of a cancer patient at least relatively rarely because of cancer. Early diagnosis and prevention of cancer is on the other hand use those features that impact has never been assessed at endpoint level and the advantages and
disadvantages been systematically evaluated. For this reason, the not always possible to inform patients of the population or individual people to the benefits and disadvantages of very reliable operation.
Cancer is the aim of rehabilitation capacity regeneration or healing and rehabilitation work at different stages of cancer pähoitopolun. related to rehabilitation support cognitive and psycho-social support as well as peer support is designed in different forms is to support the individual's mental, physical and social resources, as well as the promotion of interaction between the individual and the community. Also important is the support the adoption of healthy lifestyle acids, everyday life and working life as well as survival osallistumismahdollisuuksi- and I support the employment of well-being.
Rehabilitation is an integral part of good management of the cancer patient. the need to support and rehabilitated sufficient to ride out the ability to change the situation caused by the disease varies individually. Support the need to affect not only the nature of the illness and treatments, as well as their mental and physical problems caused by the rehabilitee family soonallisuus, personal abilities to cope with the crisis, private and loved ones life and the world of work associated tyvät questions. From family, from nearby, and the amount of aid received from colleagues affected by the need for other forms of support.
Today, only a few cancer patients receive rehabilitation support and adaptation training. Part of the reason the TA, he may also be the fact that patients do not know the possibilities of rehabilitation assistance. on the basis of the Cancer Society towards the end of 2013 a report by the preliminary results of the patients' knowledge on rehabilitation and rehabilitation support is minimal. For example, about a quarter in the treatment of cancer patients has not received any information in rehabilitation, and those who had received the information, the data in various forms of rehabilitation aid was limited.
This section analyzes the situation of cancer rehabilitation in Finland, various forms of rehabilitation on stocks as well as cancer rehabilitation guidelines for the future.
