Regular screening of the gastrointestinal tract: why is it important? Says the MCSC expert
The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) plays a key role in maintaining the health of the body. This is a complex mechanism consisting of many organs, each of which performs its own unique function. However, it is this organ that often remains out of our attention until problems arise.
According to statistics, among all types of oncological diseases, gastrointestinal cancer consistently ranks 2nd, and the annual increase in incidence is about 4%.
That is why Moscow has developed a special program for mass screening of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, the purpose of which is the timely detection of possible violations of the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, including the early stages of tumor processes.
- Why is a regular checkup of the gastrointestinal tract necessary for everyone?
- At what age should regular examinations begin?

The head of the endoscopic center MCSC named after A.S. Loginov, Taras Vasilyevich Shchedlovsky, told about this and many other things in the release of the program "Doctor and..." on the TVC channel.
