27. 10. 2015 Cancer in the older population of the Czech Republic
Population ageing has become a challenge to cancer care in developed countries. Particularities of the older population must be taken into account when considering cancer treatment. However, there is a lack of consensus on guidelines for this population due to the underrepresentation of older patients in clinical trials.
15. 1. 2014 Personalised invitations of Czech citizens to cancer screening programmes
In January 2014, a project of personalised invitations for cancer screening programmes was launched in the Czech Republic. In particular, citizens are invited to participate in colorectal cancer screening (men and women), as well as breast cancer screening and cervical cancer screening (women). Personalised invitations are aimed at citizens who have not participated in cancer screening programmes in the long term, and therefore are at a higher risk of developing cancer. The project is expected to increase participation rates in Czech cancer screening programmes.

Data and background information relevant to NCCP
This section of the NOP On-line project aims to provide an overview of important registries, research projects and grant projects related to Czech cancer research. Presentation of nationwide and local projects is welcome, including cancer drug registries or projects solved by individual Comprehensive Cancer Centres (CCCs). Project investigators determine the scope and focus of the presentation. Our objective is to communicate the outcomes of cancer research and epidemiological research in the Czech Republic.
Cancer research projects can be divided into several subgroups (see also menu on the right side of this page):
- Background information of the NCCP
- Registries monitoring the use of targeted therapies
- Assessment of economic costs and HTA projects
- Cancer prevention programmes
- Other research projects and programmes
