Putin: federal project helped to detect cancer more often at early stages. “The proportion of cancers detected in the early stages has increased during the federal program, and mortality has been decreasing,” the president said.

Earlier, the results of the federal project to combat cancer were summed up by oncologist Tigran Gevorkyan. The president said it is important to continue working to increase the availability of cancer care in Russia. The federal project “Fighting Cancer” has been operating in Russia since 2019.
