Within the framework of the school of Preventive Medicine in the Municipal State Enterprise on the Right of Economic Management “Uspenskaya Regional Hospital” on February 3, 2025, under the leadership of the head of the Department of OVP, Professor A.A. Dyusupova and the academic mentor, PhD, Associate Professor S.M. Adilgozhina, a seminar was held among the medical staff on the topic: “Early diagnosis of oncological diseases”. Early detection of cancer refers to a set of interventions aimed at identifying tumors at early stages, before clinical symptoms emerge, which significantly improves treatment efficacy and prognosis for patients. Modern early detection methods include screening programs for breast cancer (mammography), cervical cancer (Papanicolaou cytological test), colorectal cancer (colonoscopy), as well as molecular genetic techniques such as biomarker analysis and liquid biopsy. The application of genetic testing and technologies like Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) allows for the detection of mutations in key oncogenes at the molecular level, which not only aids in early detection but also facilitates the personalization of therapeutic strategies. Additionally, imaging techniques such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and PET-CT offer high precision in determining tumor location and staging.

An essential aspect is raising awareness among the population regarding early signs of cancer, which encourages timely consultation with healthcare providers. The development of screening systems, integration of molecular techniques into clinical practice, and the active implementation of modern diagnostic technologies are crucial for effective early detection.
