Tasks of the Eurasian conference on cancer screening are to promote and strengthen understanding of best practices and the most current information in the field; promoting decision-making based on scientific data in different countries; evaluation of the possibility and adequacy of implementation of screening strategies; the introduction of scientific approach to improve screening programmes and cancer.

The conference will be devoted to discussion of progress, issues, and approaches to adaptation of screening programs in certain areas, like the United States and for the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), which includes countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

Research, implementation and evaluation of effective strategies for cancer screening in the CIS enables researchers from the United States to obtain data on successful strategies of cancer screening in the region, in particular in relation to malignant neoplasms for which there are no screening programs in the United States, and in cases with weak evidence. In addition, studies of screening programs from the CIS and Central Asia can be applied in the manner and for the population of the United States, due to the large number of immigrants from the region living in the United States.

Participation in scientifically based technical assistance is helpful for cancer research and for the entire population in two main areas:

  1. the program helps to build the capacity of key areas of research that are applicable to US and to the CIS, such as health systems, research implementation, as well as available technology;
  2. the program supports the work of American universities and cancer centers funded by the NCI, in order to enable them to effectively carry out and implement their research among the US population and the CIS.

Expected results includeayut identify areas of cooperation between American and regional partners from the CIS; effective dissemination and rapid implementation of scientific researches in the field of health in the interests of the population of the United States and the CIS, in terms of improving the quality and availability of cancer screening and treatment. In addition, researchers involved in cancer screening in the United States, will receive knowledge in the treatment of malignant tumors in the later stages, which can be used in the United States, especially in remote areas and hard to reach populations.

Eurasian conference on cancer screening is an opportunity for researchers involved in development programmes, practitioners who use these programs, and decision-makers, to share best practices and discuss available data for the implementation and evaluation of effective strategies for cancer screening, which can have a positive influence on the decision of problems of fight against malignant tumors.

Participants will receive information about the latest research in the field of cancer screening, the potential strategies to be applicable and cost effective in their practice, as well as the development of systems and data that will allow long-term evaluation of screening programmes for cancer.
