Resumen:
Global implementation of population-based cancer screening reveals heterogeneity, and broad knowledge is restricted to three cancer types: breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer.
?In many high-income countries and some middle-income countries, population-based screening programmes for breast and cervical cancer have been established for decades, or shorter periods, and some have achieved significant reductions in cancer-specific mortality. Colorectal cancer screening programmes have been introduced more recently.
?There are few population-based screening programmes in low-and middle-income countries.
?Screening programmes require political commitment, engagement of civil society, competent oversight, and adequate, sustainable resources.
?Programme management should have the authority to coordinate all activities essential for provision of screening services, including training, documentation, monitoring, and other aspects of quality assurance.
?Programmes should be implemented gradually, tailoring expansion of the screening service to the capacity of the health-care system and with optimal accessibility for less-advantaged groups in the target population
