The report said the situation is “particularly critical in the case of screening for cervical cancer and colon cancer and rectum. “
The National Program for Cancer Diseases has tried, with the ARS, increase those types of screening,” which was reflected in an increase in notices sent in 2014 “to users of the National Health Service.
