Article Abstract
Slovakia, in accordance with a global trend, is experiencing an increasing cancer burden. Development and assessment of preventive and healthcare interventions are informed by cancer epidemiology.This study presents the current epidemiological situation and trends for three prevalent malignancies: breast, colorectal, and cervical cancer in the Slovakia. Population-based screening programs for these cancers have recently been reinforced.Breast cancer is the most common newly diagnosed cancer and also the most common cause of death of all cancer in women. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women with decreasing mortality. Colorectal cancer belongs to the cancer diseases with highest incidence and mortality in both the male and female populations, with the majority of cases diagnosed in later stages. Despite progress in specific areas of cancer care, Slovakia acknowledges the need for further improvements. Enhancing cancer screening uptake presents a crucial area for advancement (Fig. 7, Ref. 19). Keywords: epidemiology, Slovakia, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical cancer.
