“The ministry and the Commission have a fundamental role in prevention because they must ensure that the screening projects, which are very important and have been very successful by enrolling many people, in Italy are financed, maintained and implemented in the future”. said the senator of the Democratic Party Ylenia Zscopio, secretary of the which the budget of the program of the Italian lung screening network (Risp) was presented.
“Lung cancer – underlines Zscopio – is a very subtle pathology, which does not give signs unless it is in a very advanced state. Dedicating yourself to screening is therefore essential to be able to catch the disease in time, in the initial stages. This means guaranteeing a greater chance of survival for all patients, as well as saving the State a lot of money, in terms of the commitment of the national health system, because a patient in the fourth stage costs enormously more than a patient in the first stage”. With reference to the Risp programme, Zscopio highlights that “the project is also important for the fight against smoking because, when one enters these paths, the person is encouraged to stop smoking. For these reasons, I believe it is a successful project that must be supported.”
