Minden-Lübbecke: More and more citizens are using Cancer provision!

In the Minden-Lübbecke region, the latest statistics show a positive trend in cancer. According to an analysis of the AOK Nordwest, the use of cancer early detection investigations has increased in both men and women last year. This is particularly gratifying, since the crab pre -trial history has often been neglected.

The data show that almost 38 percent of women over the age of 20 have used a cancer provision examination last year. The number was around 22 percent for men who are at least 45 years old. For comparison: In the previous year, the proportion of men who used these precautionary measures was still below 20 percent. These numbers indicate growing awareness of the importance of early examinations.

positive developments

The AOK Nordwest evaluates this increase as a gratifying development, but emphasizes that the preventive offers are still not used sufficiently. The organization calls for men who are often hesitant to go to health examinations more often. Early detection plays a crucial role in many types of cancer, which is why it is important to further sensitize the population to this topic.

The increase in the use could have been influenced by various factors, for example through reconnaissance campaigns or personal experiences of friends and families who have motivated those affected to be examined. Another important aspect is access to information and the reduction of fears, which are often associated with such examinations. Encourable examples of survivors could also have contributed to this positive development.

Despite the increase, the AOK remains that there is still a lot of work to be done. The health insurance company speaks for further information and information campaigns to reduce the inhibitions for cancer. It is important that society not only has the numbers in view, but also the individual fates and the value of every single life. The more cancer is recognized, the better the chances of recovery, which justifies every incentive for precaution.

In summary, it can be said that the development in Minden-Lübbecke is a positive sign, but should not neglect the necessary urgency of the situation. AOK Nordwest plans to continue to raise awareness of the importance of cancer and motivate people in the region to consider preventive examinations as part of their health routine.
