Screening programmes for cervical cancer, breast cancer and colorectal have been implemented in many Western countries to reduce incidence mortality. Ethnic minority women are less likely participate screening than the majority population. In worst case this can result higher rates, later diagnosis treatment ultimately inferior survival. paper we explored perceptions about perceived barriers towards participation among ethnic a deprived area Denmark.Interview study with Denmark. The...

Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the status of cervical cancer screening (CCS) implementation in Europe by investigating national or regional policies towards broadening coverage CCS amongst vulnerable subgroups population at high risk for CC. Methods A web-based survey was conducted between September 2021 and February 2022 with programme managers experts identify rank six considered most CC map existing that addressed sub-groups risk. Results total 31 responses were...
Cervical cancer remains a significant public health concern in Europe. Effective introduction and scaling up of human papillomavirus (HPV) detection-based cervical screening (CCS) requires systematic assessment systems capacity. However, there is no validated capacity methodology for CCS programmes, especially European contexts. Addressing this gap, our study introduces an innovative adaptable protocol evaluating the programmes across varying system settings. Our research team developed...
Abstract Background and aim Breast cancer is the most common disease in women worldwide. In Denmark, law prescribes patient pathways ( CPP s) general thus also for breast cancer. Although results from satisfaction surveys show overall with pathway, a call improvement has been voiced some areas. The of this study was to explore patients’ relatives’ experiences surgical identify any unmet needs. Method This based on focus groups patients who had surgery cancer, their relatives. settings were...

With an increasingly complex array of interventions facing healthcare professionals and patients, coupled with a potentially diverse number operating within the primary care team, adoption shared decision making (SDM) - or without patients' aids in interprofessional manner is essential to ensure highest quality for patients. In this article, we propose framework education about SDM targeted settings. Five areas knowledge skills were agreed be all relevant stakeholders successful:...

The randomised controlled was conducted among 2702 screening-naïve Danish citizens, 53–74 years old, attainment. Baseline questionnaire respondents (62%) were allocated to intervention control groups. Intervention received aid....

A self-administered web-based aid targeting with lower educational attainment been evaluated within the target population. However, effectiveness general population remains unexplored. aim of this study was evaluate a for components choice among previous non-participants screening. Methods findings...
Abstract Background Ethnic minority women from non‐Western countries are less likely than the native to participate in screening programmes for cervical cancer, breast cancer and colorectal cancer. This social inequality can result loss of possibility prevention, delayed diagnosis treatment and, ultimately, lower chance survival. Developing a tailored intervention might be solution reduce inequalities screening, key feature research is consult target group. Objective To explore ethnic...
Background: Participants in population-based screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) may experience increased anxiety immediately after a positive test, but research this area is limited. The objective of study was to explore how participants test result and cope with the pre-diagnostic waiting period CRC program. Materials methods: Screening fecal immunochemical (FIT) were identified Danish national program before they attended diagnostic colonoscopy. Sixteen selected an interview their own...
The incidence of cervical cancer peaks around the age 75 years, and elderly patients are more frequently diagnosed with advanced-stage than younger patients. There is considerable practice variation regarding follow-up abnormal test results at risk cancer, both nationally internationally, due to uncertainty about risks benefits for this particular patient group. treatment preferences these are, however, poorly described in current literature. aim study was explore patients' experiences...
