• Avoid obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic syndromes, and consult a doctor if you have symptoms or a family history of them.

“The goal is to achieve a significant extension of the program beginning in the first quarter of the year (already 2022), around the month of February, starting it in the three hospitals in Mallorca that have not yet implemented, Son Espases, Son Llàtzer, and the regional Manacor,” said the president of the AECC in the Balearic Islands.

Or, to put it another way, approximately 20% of the archipelago’s population when the Ministry of Health has specified that all autonomous communities must have 100% coverage of their target population by January 2024. To meet the deadline, the Servei de Salut has begun to install the first digestive endoscopic equipment in public hospitals on the Balearic Islands in order to expand the screening program for colon cancer and rectal cancer. They have specifically invested 882,854 euros in the contract for the supply and maintenance of a complete endoscopy tower, two high-definition video colonoscopes, and an electrosurgical unit for each hospital over a five-year period, according to Dr. Reyes, digestologist and coordinator of the screening program to detect them earlier, and president of the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC) in the Balearic Islands. Every year, 850 new cases of colon cancer are discovered in the Balearic Islands, a disease that kills 300 Balearic Island residents each year and is the most frequent among the population when both genders are considered. “In addition, it is parity, its incidence is the same in men and women,” Dr. Reyes emphasized. The program’s regional coordinator also mentioned that work had been done with clinical analysis services, pathological anatomy, and the health centers themselves to grease the machinery before resuming this early detection.
