OUTPATIENT ONCOLOGY CENTER – TARGET ORGANIZATIONAL MODEL OF PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE TO CANCER PATIENTS AT THE OUTPATIENT STAGE

In Russia, oncological diseases occupy the second place in the structure of mortality after cardiovascular pathologies. The number of newly identified cases is steadily increasing, which is primarily due to an increase in the life expectancy of the population. In this regard, it is important to improve the methods and protocols of medical care for patients with cancer, including diagnosis, treatment and further follow-up. One of the key tasks of the healthcare system is to ensure the availability of medical care, in particular, by deploying a network of outpatient cancer care centers in the regions.
