Because of the increased incidence of malignant pathology in
individuals, prevention measures must be practically applied by screening
programmes. Such measures are considered useful to increase citizens’ life
quality, otherwise serious consequences for health could entail. In this
context, this study comparatively presents the incidence of types of malignant
pathologies found in the last quarter of 2012 and in the first quarter of 2013,
in the specialized service, according to the information collated within a
database. The study was made possible through collaboration with the specialty
medical staff.
To evaluate the incidence of the malignant pathology across the
period, the study was carried out by analyzing the types of malignant
pathologies, taking into consideration the residence environment of the patients,
sex, newly found and diagnosed cases, together with the cases already on
records. The conclusion was that women are the most affected group, with those
residing in urban areas showing the highest level of incidence. This data is of
importance to the healthcare sector, especially when considering that neoplastic
pathology has a harmful prognostic on both health and quality of life.
This is the basis of a paper written by researchers from the Transilvania
University of Braşov in collaboration with Tim Sandle.
