Major advances in anticancer medical therapies
have been performed in last decades, and the poten-
tial impact on survival of the new chemotherapeutical,
anti-angiogenic and biological molecules had been
clearly discussed in literature.
Despite the availability of new therapeutical agents
is quite homogeneous among the two continents,
comparison of SEERS and EUROCARE databases
evidenced US vs. European cancer survival advan-
tages, particularly when colorectal malignancies were
considered [1, 2]. Correction for stage at diagnosis
consistently reduced colorectal survival differences
and the reduction was substantially unrelated to the
European geographic area analyzed, thus confirm-
ing that treatment modalities may be almost uniform
between the two continents.
Since early diagnostic procedures might be much
less available in Europe than in USA [1], the presence
of a diagnostic screening-related bias was hypo-
thesized to explain the observed survival difference.
Deficiencies in European cancer screening guideline
implementation and inadequacy of screening test
advising in primary care setting have been highlighted
in literature [3–9].
Monitoring of early diagnostic procedures is con-
sequently required in order to tailor a comprehensive
European health-policy planning.
Furthermore, the European health sanitary systems
are not homogeneous due to the different economic
backgrounds and the different languages spoken in
each nation. In order to bridge the European cancer
screening experiences in a comprehensive standardi-
zed survey of screening patterns an international task
force was developed. All network and project planning
was directed from the PACMeR of Athens (Pan-Hellenic
Association for Continual Medical Research), and at
present it involves 14 centers in 9 European Nations.
In 2004 the group presented preliminary results:
SESy_Europe database (Screening Evaluation Sys-
tem — Europe) [10, 11] a multilanguage 3-components
database dedicated to cancer screening monitoring
among European countries.
Database is focused on major “malignant killers” and
preventable malignancies (breast, cervical, colorectal,
lung, urinary tract, skin and prostate cancer early-de-
tection practices) and targeted to the analysis of both
cost-effective (e.g. mammography, Papanicolaou
smear, stool occult blood test) and not-recommended
procedures (e.g. full chest radiography, urinalysis).

Software has already been tested in Greece for its
feasibility in recording and data storing. A nationwide
sample of more than 6.500 Hellenic individuals had
been registered in the database and related data will
be soon released to medical literature. Standardized
pre-codified translations (ID-related) of 2,331 parame-
ters had been adjourned for all the basic eight lan-
guages of the database, and translation in Bulgarian,
Polish and Russian has been added. The database
had been proposed to the Steering Committee of the
EUROCHIP (European Cancer Health Indicator Pro-
ject) [12] and it is under evaluation for its application
in the wider Europe (since the Panhellenic Associa-
tion for Continual Medical Research PACMeR-ΠΕΔΙΕ
is a non-profit medical association, the database will
be provided free of charge). The actual profile of the
database is presented in the table.
