Since May, a unique mobile diagnostic complex has been operating in Lutsk, the only one in the region, which allows for quick and effective examinations for tuberculosis and breast pathology. During this period, teams from 7 organizations were examined: Lutsk District Hospital, a geriatric home, the regional dental clinic, the "Motor" plant, "Volyn Seafood," Lutsk City Polyclinic for Adults No. 1, and the maternity hospital. Currently, the complex is operating at the Lutsk Automobile Plant.
During this period, more than a thousand people were examined, including: chest fluorography – over 200 people, mammography – about 800 people.
The following was detected: pulmonary tuberculosis – 5 people. Breast disease – about 400 people, mainly mastopathy. One patient with breast cancer has already undergone surgery and the diagnosis has been histologically confirmed. Two women with suspected cancer are being examined.
Doctors claim that in practice, the detection rate of breast pathology is 10 times higher than statistical data.
Examination schedules at city enterprises are drawn up monthly, and teams are informed in advance.
