Napotitev in obravnava bolnikov z melanomom in epiteliomi Referral and management of patients with melanomas and epitheliomas

Abstract

V populaciji se veča zavest o skrbi za zdravje in poznavanje rizičnih dejavnikov za nastanek posameznih bolezni, kot npr. škodljivosti sončnih žarkov in njihov vpliv na nastanek kožnega raka, kar ob relativno konstantnem številu dermatovenerologov in večjem prilivu bolnikov predstavlja velik problem. Poleg rednih pregledov ambulante dermatovenerologov dodatno dnevno obišče še veliko bolnikov z nujno ali hitro napotitvijo, zaradi dolgih čakalnih dob, s čemer pa se te še daljšajo.

Abstract (Eng)

The population has become increasingly aware of the importance of health care and knows the risk factors for individual diseases, e.g. the harmful effects of sun rays and their influence on the development of skin cancer, which represents a major problem for a relatively large number of dermato-venereologists dealing with an increasing number of patients. Besides regular examinations, many other patients with an urgent or immediate referral visit the dermato-venereology clinics on a daily basis due to long waiting times, but this only prolongs them.
