A project to prevent oncological diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is starting in the capital. It will be carried out in response to the initiative of the Moscow Oncology Society. Its main goal is to identify pathologies and conditions that precede the development of oncological diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

Muscovites will be able to undergo free examinations in city clinics and endoscopic centers. For residents who have not undergone endoscopic diagnostics for several years, referrals for self-registration will be opened in the unified medical information and analytical system (EMIAS) automatically.

“Thanks to the development of Moscow medicine – digitalization, systematic professional training of personnel, infrastructure upgrade – we can not only effectively use our available resources, but also implement proactive target programs. We have already achieved high detection rates of oncological diseases, but it is equally important to engage in the prevention of malignant neoplasms. Experts from the Moscow Oncology Society approached us with just such an initiative. Understanding the relevance of this problem, we are launching a pilot project aimed at preventing gastrointestinal oncology. Gastrointestinal diseases develop asymptomatically for a long time and may not manifest themselves for many years. At the same time, clearly understanding the age at which diseases can debut, we suggest that Muscovites do not wait for any symptoms, but undergo a preventive examination for free. It will help not only to identify, but also to cure pathologies that can lead to the development of oncology. The capabilities of Moscow polyclinics and endoscopic centers, on the basis of which the preventive program is launched, allow us to invite Muscovites who have not undergone it in the last few years to a proactive endoscopic examination of the gastrointestinal tract. It is important that the directions for such Muscovites will open in EMIAS automatically. Patients can choose a convenient time and prepare well for the examination,” said Anastasia Rakova.

All procedures are performed using modern equipment, they are as comfortable as possible for patients. Gastroscopy in the clinic is done under local anesthesia, it takes no more than 30 minutes. Gastro- and colonoscopy in the endoscopic center are performed under mild sedation, the total time spent in the medical institution does not exceed two hours. If a pathology is detected, a therapist or general practitioner will promptly contact the patient and prescribe treatment.

Referrals will be automatically opened for two categories of patients who have not undergone gastro and colonoscopy in the last few years. The examination includes rapid testing for Helicobacter pylori.

A large-scale upgrade of the infrastructure and technical support of medical institutions allows the capital to implement a proactive approach to detecting oncological diseases. Moscow is completing its largest program for the reconstruction of city clinics. All buildings are equipped with the latest generation equipment, including expert-level technology. In total, more than 75 thousand units of medical devices have been delivered to institutions within the framework of the program, including over 30 thousand units of modern technology.
