Cancer detection in danger: Lower Austria has the lowest numbers!

Niederösterreich, Österreich - In Lower Austria, the fight against cancer faces a decisive turning point. The President of the Medical Association, Harald Schlögel, warns: "Many types of cancer are curable if they are recognized early." The regular implementation of preventive examinations can be crucial in order to significantly improve the diagnostic opportunities and thus the healing. However, despite these possibilities, Lower Austria has so far been a bottom in the statistics of free preventive examinations. This should be over! The medical profession plans education and memories to motivate people to provide care. "Prevention takes little time, but can save lives," adds Schlögel. An important step is that annual preventive examinations are planned from the age of 18. Women from the age of 40 can undergo mammography every two years, while research-based reviews such as the cervical cancer input examination are also recommended from the age of 18.

such as the Krebsgesellschaft , cancer-reinarian diseases are also from worrying nature. The latest figures show that in recent years the incidence of prostate cancer and colon cancer in men and breast cancer remains continuously at a high level in women. In 2018, 60,120 new diseases in prostate cancer and 69,900 were reported in breast cancer. The statistics listed show a growing problem created by the Society of Epidemiological Cancer Register in Germany. The challenge remains to strengthen health awareness among the citizens, in particular by emphasizing the importance of vaccinations such as the HPV vaccination, which protects against cancer species caused by human papilloma viruses. This vaccination is free up to the age of 30 and another preventive measure that is supported to significantly reduce the risk of cancer.

Epidemiological research shows that the frequency of cancer can vary greatly - depending on the demographic and regional conditions. This reinforces the need for early diagnosis and the increased participation in preventive examinations. Only through this common use can the increase in cancer, according to the unanimous opinion of the experts.
