Resum
The CanScreen5 project is a global cancer screening data repository
that aims to report the status and performance of breast, cervical and
colorectal cancer screening programs using a harmonized set of criteria
and indicators. Data collected mainly from the Ministry of Health in
each country underwent quality validation and ultimately became
publicly available through a Web-based portal. Until September 2022, 84
participating countries reported data for breast (n = 57), cervical (n = 75) or
colorectal (n = 51) cancer screening programs in the repository. Substantial
heterogeneity was observed regarding program organization and
performance. Reported screening coverage ranged from 1.7% (Bangladesh)
to 85.5% (England, United Kingdom) for breast cancer, from 2.1% (Côte
d’Ivoire) to 86.3% (Sweden) for cervical cancer, and from 0.6% (Hungary) to
64.5% (the Netherlands) for colorectal cancer screening programs. Large
variability was observed regarding compliance to further assessment
of screening programs and detection rates reported for precancers and
cancers. A concern is lack of data to estimate performance indicators across
the screening continuum. This underscores the need for programs to
incorporate quality assurance protocols supported by robust information
systems. Program organization requires improvement in resource-limited
settings, where screening is likely to be resource-stratified and tailored to
country-specific situations.
