In the near future, Ukrainian oncologists predict a wave of patients diagnosed with cancer already in the late stages for the first time. Because first the covid pandemic, and then the martial law became an obstacle for many Ukrainians to undergo an annual examination by an oncologist and detect a tumor in time. This year, the situation has worsened even more, in addition, the reasons for stress and anxiety have increased significantly – a condition that directly affects the risk of developing cancer.
Research of Ukrainian companies and the level of detection of oncology.
We have already shared with you earlier the results of a study on Ukrainian companies and the level of detection of oncology among employees. Almost half (47%) of the surveyed HR specialists encountered cases of cancer among their colleagues or their relatives, which once again confirms the thesis about the wide spread of critical diseases in Ukraine. We will remind, according to statistics, every hour 20 Ukrainians learn that they have been diagnosed with a malignant tumor. This is more than 140 thousand people a year.
In a team of 10 people, every 7th woman and every 8th man are at risk of developing an oncological disease, such as breast cancer and prostate cancer. The most unpleasant thing in such situations is that it is not noticeable in the initial stages. Therefore, only preliminary profile reviews can help. Therefore, we recommend that your HR specialists, when choosing medical insurance for employees, must pay attention to the fact that the specialized consultations of a gynecologist and urologist are included, as well as that all necessary research methods are covered. It is early diagnosis that will help detect the disease and start timely treatment. And a financial solution from the TAS Life insurance company in the form of the “TAS-Doctor” program will help organize re-diagnosis, treatment and medical support in the treatment of critical illnesses.
Preventive diagnostics is also very important in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
We would like to share with you information from the chief physician of the National Cancer Institute, Andriy Beznosenko, regarding symptoms that may be alarm signals and a reason to consult a doctor as soon as possible:
- a feeling of exhaustion or constant tiredness that does not decrease and does not go away after rest;
- paleness of the skin and mucous membranes;
- unexplained weight loss;
- swelling or tumor-like formations in any part of the body;
- a feeling of pain and discomfort (for no reason) in any part of the body, in particular, of a “new” nature, which does not disappear or worsens;
- constant or periodic: fever or night sweats; enlargement of lymph nodes, etc.
