Emphasizing the significance of early detection in enhancing patient results and lowering death rates, it covers the selection of appropriate populations and tests, and efficient follow-up systems. Dr. Carvalho will discuss screening methods for prevalent cancers like breast and colorectal, highlighting the need for evidence-backed guidelines and the balance between early detection benefits and over-diagnosis risks. The session will also touch on the organizational and operational facets of such programs, the importance of interdisciplinary teamwork, and the use of real-world cases to showcase the impact of organized screening.
