🎗 Let's talk efficiency on this 25th Day Against Cancer (#DagTegenKanker). Why? Because efficiency is crucial to helping as many patients as possible in the best possible way. An ingredient that can contribute significantly to efficient cancer care, are in-vitro diagnostic tests. These tests help caregivers to screen for cancer and diagnose patients, in the best case at the earliest possible stage. There are a lot of valuable diagnostic tests available. But like with every useful medical technology, the technology alone won't do the job. We need a strategy for implementation and support for healthcare professionals to use the right tests in the right way. 👉 The case of cervical cancer proves how important that framework and support is. We have the diagnostic tests to screen for cervical cancer, but we don't reach the goal of 85% screening coverage of the target group - far from it, with 57% (2021). That's why earlier this year, Dr. Ann Van den Bruel, general director at KCE - Federaal Kenniscentrum voor de Gezondheidszorg - Centre Fédéral d'Expertise des Soins de Santé, pleaded to intensify our efforts in cervical cancer screening in Belgium and explore the new options that can help in doing so, such as HPV tests. And this is only one example. In vitro diagnostic tests can play a role for other types of cancer too, and moreover, at every stage of the care continuum.
