Tirol starts pilot project on colon cancer screening: Stay informed now!

In Austria, around 5,000 people fall ill annually in colon cancer, one of the most common cancer. In order to reduce the incidence of this disease, the Medical Association for Tyrol relies on a new pension program that is supported by an enforcement sensitization of the population. For this purpose, a pilot project is launched that strives for higher participation in preventive colonoscopies. In the past few years, around 370 people have suffered in colorectal carcinomas in Tyrol, with the age of illness often 71 to 72 years. An important goal is the early detection of preliminary stages of this type of cancer in order to avoid major operations and chemotherapy. As the Medical Association reports, the colonoscopy is emphasized as a "gold standard" for the precaution and the patient is offered: the choice between a stool test and a colonoscopy, starting from the age of 45. This not only benefits the people concerned, but also relieves the Austrian health system significantly, as the co-speaker for gastrointestinal endoscopy, Katrin Bermoser, emphasizes.

most modern medical care in the surgery center Hall

Another step to improve health care in Tyrol shows itself in the surgery center Hall, which was opened after three years of construction in December 2020. This state -of -the -art hospital not only offers top -equipped operating theaters and a special day clinic for smaller interventions, but also ensures a bright and friendly atmosphere that promotes the well -being of the patient: inside. The center is connected to other departments via an impressive glass bridge, while innovative technologies provide energy efficiency. With a total of 206 beds and the most modern medical facilities, the LKH Hall, all patients, intends to offer the best possible care with the greatest possible safety.

The need for effective precautionary measures and optimized treatment options are becoming increasingly urgent in view of the increasing numbers of colon cancer. The Medical Association emphasizes the importance of the complex medical infrastructure and calls for the rapid development of the new screening program in order to recognize cases at an early stage and to protect the health of the population sustainably. The news from Tyrol Clinics underline how important it is to provide modern medical standards to provide the patient: to look after the best as possible and at the same time minimize the financial burdens for the health system, as is also evident in the reports of the medical association and the surgery in Hall.
