Abstract

In general, as the national standard of living and life expectancy of people increase, the health burden of cancer also increases. Prevention strategies, including the screening and investigation of the causes of cancer as well as the expansion of treatment infrastructure, are necessary. In this review, we discussed the management strategies for gastric and colorectal cancers in Uzbekistan. Gastrointestinal cancers can be significantly prevented by certain screening strategies such as endoscopic examination. Furthermore, as both cancer types are closely related to the eating habits and lifestyles of people in Uzbekistan, such causes should be investigated and prevented. Practical advice to increase the efficiency of treatment is included, considering the current situation in Uzbekistan. Data from South Korea, which has performed nationwide screening for two decades and has made progress in improving the prognosis of patients with gastrointestinal cancers, will be discussed as a literature control.
