Abstrakt		Prevention and screening are among the most important methods for reducing the mortality of cancer patients. However, early recognition of signs and symptoms of malignancy is just as important. The survival rate of cancer patients in Slovenia is improving only slowly. In the case of the most frequent types of cancer, the survival rate is even below the European average. Hopefully, with improved cancer therapy we will be able to achieve better results. The findings indicate that all patients at earlier stages of malignant diseases have better prognosis for survival. However, early diagnosis cannot be accomplished unless family physicians are well aware of their important role in the early diagnosis of cancer.
Izvleček		Ob preprečevanju malignih obolenj in ob presejalnih testih je prepoznavanje simptomov zgodnjih oblik rakastih obolenj eden od bistvenih načinov, kako zmanjšati smrtnost bolnikov zaradi malignomov. Preživetje bolnikov z rakom se v Sloveniji le počasi izboljšuje. Pri bolnikih z nekaterimi najpogostejšimi raki je celo znatno slabše kot v Evropi. Z uspešnejšim zdravljenjem bomo lahko več bolnikom omogočili ozdravitev. Pri vseh malignih obolenjih pa velja, da je nizki stadij bolezni ugodnejši napovedni dejavnik. V prizadevanju najti bolnike z zgodnjo obliko obolenja imajo zdravniki družinske medicine izjemno vlogo.
