Dr. Brunzalov: Prevention is needed to reduce cancer patients
In order to reduce the number of newly registered cases, prevention is needed, as it is the biggest economy for the treatment of any disease, said the Vice-President of the Bulgarian Medical Union. Dr. Nikolay Brunzalov joined the discussion in the presentation of the project of the National Cancer Plan in the Republic of Bulgaria 2030. According to Dr. Brunzalov, it is necessary to consider stimuli of the population in order to participate in the various screening programs provided for in the plan.
Nearly twenty thousand Bulgarians annually lose the battle with cancer, it became clear at the presentation of the National Cancer Plan.
