Preventive oncology and oncological
prevention
The formation of clinical
oncology was accompanied lawful skepticism. For a long time we
have heard the optimistic words about oncological prevention
possibilities. Then Government of Czechoslovak republic even
started controlled experiment called "Oncological action
programme" The results were disappointing.
The preventive oncology is a new young medical branch. The
founder was Professor Michal Shimkin M.D. from San Jose
University California; there are two international organizations
for preventive oncology: American Organisation for preventive
oncology (ASPO) and International Origination for preventive
oncology (ISPO) co-exist.
Fast developing clinical laboratory methods, warning diagnostics,
and higher steps of medical knowledge supported conception to
look for human tumor in the non-invasive stage. Many clinicians
are seriously interested in precanceromatoses in his branch. As
a result, his knowleges are rather limited and direct on to his
specialty. Preventive oncology has its characteristic features.
Studying precarcinomatosis and non-invasive tumors separately
disallow research to common features. According to my mind lot
of features of precarcinomatosis and still non-invasive tumors,
have similar behaviors. As an example see 3 graphs, this
supported my theory.
Figure 1

We present the different fields of interest
for clinical oncology and preventive oncology.
For instance, let us follow the slowly growing benign polyp in
colon. At first, the patient has no difficulties.
Thereinafter the polyp is conductive constipation and patient's
difficulties increase. Polyp is still benign and if removing,
patient will be healthy. This situation belongs to field of
interest of preventive oncology. Now in polyp, malignancy occurs
and patient s difficulties getting worse clinical situation
changes and are included to clinical oncology field. The
critical revolutionary moment, which rate the patient into
oncological one we call "the point of invasivity"
The branch of clinical oncology under develops. Other medical
branches (cardiology, dermatology, diagnostic fields.) find
great progress. This is the reason, why Parisian Charter against
cancer arose in February 2000.Anyone can read it on web-sides, I
should like to point out two important ideas, connected with
preventive oncology: Paris Charter on chapter 6 point out
important occurrence. She wrote, "Time is come" to study not
only causal appearance of invasive tumors. The same importance
is splitting the research and study the appearance of genesis of
precanceromatous findings. Very important is to target the point
of conversion precanceromatous disease to invasive tumor,
We should point out once again, that any kind consciously
omitting cancer prevention is infringement of patient right s
and consequently human rights too.

Conclusion:
Sphere preventive oncology is not only oncological prevention.
The mission of preventive oncology is to detect still not
invasive tumors. Removing non-invasive tumors means often cure
the tumor forever.
The purpose of the article is drawing the attention to non-coordinated
activity of many clever doctors, which are interested in
precanceromatoses on the level of his specialty.
Consequences of it are surprising lack of theoretical knowledges
dealing with the beginning tumor process from clinical point of
view.
Clinical improvement of non-invasive tumor capture is realistic
way to improve clinical results of cancer, despite causal
treatment is not clear. Preventive oncology as a sub-branch of
clinical oncology follows this way.
