Abstract 246P
Background
To study the main causes of neglect of advanced cervical cancer (CC) in Uzbekistan based on the results of a survey of advanced stage cervical cancer patients. The questionnaire was analyzed in 3 directions: “patient delay”, “doctor delay”, “delay of treatment”.
Methods
200 patients with advanced cervical cancer were included in the analysis, including: IIA-B stage-17%; IIIA-B stage 80%; IVA stage - 3%. Descriptive analyses were provided with the WHO questionnaire, adopted for local use, which should explore the possible barriers of early detection of cervical cancer.
Results
In the questionnaire analysis, the following results were obtained in the direction of “doctor delay”: 1. Which doctor did you talk about the symptoms of the disease? General practioner - 8%, gynecologist - 90%, private doctor - 2%; 2. Prior to the establishment of diagnosis contacted doctor: once - 22%, twice - 29%, 3 times and more - 49%. 3. How many times did you have a doctor before starting chemotherapy: Never - 86%, 3 or more times 14%. 4. Some aspects of the treatment surprised patients, no one warned: yes-56%, no-54%; I can easily ask doctor about the disease: Yes-45%, no-55%. 5. Appeal to the doctors before the establishment of diagnosis: twice - 29%, 3 and more time - 49%; To which specialist did you first tell about the symptoms of the disease: Physician - 97%, nurse - 2%, healer - 1%. 6. How many times have been in doctor with relatives: Never -37%; once - 19%; twice - 24%; 3 and more times - 20%. 7. Where you underwent the necessary examinations: State clinic - 70%; private clinic - 30%.
Conclusions
The main reasons for the neglect of cervical cancer in the direction of “doctor delay” are: Weak awareness of general practitioners; Unsatisfactory in forming patients about the severity of the disease, inability to enter the patient's trust; Absence or low level of psychological support of patients; Problems of timely referral of patients to an oncologist; Problems of deontology in the chain: doctor-diagnosis-patient. Elimination of the above-mentioned main causes will lower the incidence and mortality from cervical cancer and improve treatment outcomes, preventing disability of women.
