2024: Moscow completes the construction of the "oncological framework." It helped reduce cancer deaths from 17% to 11.8%

By early February 2024, Moscow is completing the construction of an "oncological framework." He helped reduce cancer deaths from 17% in 2019 to 11.8% in 2023, according to the website of the capital's mayor's office.

Now we have completed construction and are preparing for the opening of a radiation building in the Kommunarka medical center, and are also building a new advanced cancer hospital No. 62 in Skolkovo. After that, we will fully complete the creation of a modern oncological framework in Moscow. Such a strong development of infrastructure has already made it possible to almost double the volume of cancer care, - said Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development, in early February 2024.

According to her, to improve the provision of oncological care in Moscow in four years, more than 85 thousand m2 of new infrastructure were erected, over 40 thousand m2 were repaired. Almost 4 thousand pieces of equipment worth over 5 billion rubles were delivered to specialized medical institutions. During this period, the volume of oncological care in the capital almost doubled during this period. At the same time, malignant neoplasms in the early stages began to be detected after the start of the work of the city's medical institutions according to a single standard in 67% of cases against 62% in 2019.

The new standard for the provision of oncological care, to which Moscow has switched, assumes that instead of disparate departments and hospitals, five anchor cancer clinics have been created on the basis of the five largest city hospitals. Each anchor clinic has a hospital with advanced equipment, an outpatient cancer care center instead of an old oncology dispensary and a modern pathomorphological laboratory. This reduces the timing of diagnosis and makes the process of contacting medical institutions more comfortable, the Moscow mayor's office said.^[1]
