We hope that other enterprises will join this initiative and the detection of cancer diseases in our region will be much better,” Mr. Ratmanov said.

There are plans to organize an outpatient cancer care center in the region, not only in Samara, but also in Togliatti, Syzran and other inter-district centers.

In the course of the examinations, which are given as part of the campaign, our specialists revealed suspicions of oncological diseases. We can say that these patients were lucky, they were diagnosed in time and detected the disease at an early stage. Here in Samara, I see that as the format of this event develops, the action is becoming more and more popular and becoming more and more effective,” Mr. Ivanov said.

The next “Oncopatrul” will continue its work in 2020. The Kaluga Region will become the eighth region.
