  • Title: Citiscreen Updated Algorithms for Cancer Screening

Abstract

Introduction:
Citi Screen put together a fragmented screening system by creating screening algorithms for the following cancers: lung, ovary, breast, prostate, cervix, thyroid, colorectal, pancreas, and skin, among others. The use of individual screening algorithms, which combine ultrasound, MRI, CT imaging, genetic and tumor markers, as well as other technologies, allows us to detect cancer or its precursor lesions at an early stage. Screen-~ starts with obtaining family, personal, and social history as well as demographics for the identification of risk factors for various cancers. All of this information is entered into a Dewey. Cancer screening computer program, which produces Screening recommendations for each individual material and method, lines, con conclusions.

Citi screen steps of cancer screening
Screening for risk factors (healthy individuals at risk).Genetic predisposition for specific cancers (blood or saliva test).Screening for cancer precursors and blood screening for early-stage cancers (tumor marker 25). The Citi screen algorithm is constantly updated based on changing patients' circumstances (age, new cancers in the family, changes in living habits, etc.) and new advances in the science of cancer screening.
Citiscreen was created as an alternative to the US cancer screening task force and had the
following advantages:
- An update every 5 years ( US task force protocol) does not allow it to adjust to new development in the field, which appear daily
- Introducing cost-effectiveness essential for public use excludes a certain category of people (e.g., those over 75) who are interested and can afford cancer screening.
- Many of the current screening modalities, although not useful for the broad population, may be well accepted by a group of highly motivated and well-informed individuals (e.g., total body MRI).
