Background: Given the high incidence of skin cancer (SC) in several countries around the world, general practitioners (GPs) are playing an increasingly important role in the prevention and early detection of this disease. The main objective of our study was to evaluate the current role of GP’s in the prevention and early detection of skin cancer. The secondary objectives were to determine the GP’s level of knowledge, their lack of information and their need for education on skin cancer. Methods: We realized a cross-sectional descriptive survey by means of a questionnaire among GPs practicing in the private and public sector in the city of Fes. Results: 158 general practitioners issued a completed and usable questionnaire. The average age was 45.91 years, sex ratio M/F =1.05. The number of years of exercise varied between one year and 39 years with the predominance of the bracket; between 10 and 20 years of experience. 47.5% estimated that their dermatological activity represented less than 10% of their overall activity. The majority of physicians surveyed stated that they rarely or never carry out all practices related to skin cancer prevention and screening, the main obstacle being the difficulty in recognizing suspicious lesions. 60.8% of physicians stated that they never gave photoprotection advice to their patients. 1.3% had participated in a specific training course on skin cancer screening; 92.9% selected “lack of proposal” as their reasons for non-participation in such a course. Among the general practitioners in the study, 91.1% considered that it was essential to reinforce their knowledge, particularly in terms of training in the recognition of suspicious lesions (88.6%). The evaluation of knowledge about skin cancer showed a good level of knowledge among 54.7% of the doctors questioned and an insufficient level among 43.1%. Conclusion: Most GPs are willing to take part in SC prevention and screening in their daily practice. However, our results demonstrate a high need for additional education and training.

Abstract Background As high-income countries experience over-diagnosis of cancer diseases, the low-income countries are characterized by under-diagnosis or no diagnosis of even the most prevalent cancers. The Comprehensive Community Cancer Program (CCCP) is a community health unit of the Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI) that coordinates and implements primary prevention of cancer and early detection in Uganda. CCCP provides cancer information and screening services at UCI, in rural communities through mobile outreaches, mass media cancer awareness and training health workers on cancer prevention and early detection. We explored the feasibility and benefit of conducting outreaches in partnership with local communities.Methods We analyzed the quarterly UCI-CCCP cancer health education and screening output report data form July 2016 to June 2019 to compare UCI-hospital-based and community outreach cancer awareness and screening services.Results From July 2016 to June 2019, we worked with 107 local partners and conducted 151 outreaches. Out of the total number of people who attended cancer health education sessions, 77.9% were reached through outreaches. Ninety-two (95%) cancer awareness TVs and radio talk-shows conducted were sponsored by local partners. Out of the total people screened; 63.0% cervical, 64.4% breast and 38.7% prostate screening clients were screened through outreaches. The screen-positive rates were higher in hospital-based screening except for Prostate screening; cervical, 8.8%, breast, 8.4% prostate, 7.1 than in outreaches; cervical, 3.2%, breast, 2.2%, prostate, 8.2%). Out of the screened positive clients who were eligible for pre-cancer treatment like cryotherapy for treatment of pre-cervical cancer lesions, thousands-folds monetary value and productive life saved relative to the market cost of cancer treatment and survival rate in Uganda. When the total number of clients screened for cervical, breast and prostate cancer are subjected to the incremental cost of specific screening, a greater portion (98.7%) of the outreach cost was absorbed through community partnership.Conclusions Outreaching and working in collaboration with communities as partners help in cost-sharing and leverage for scarce resources to promote primary prevention and early detection of cancer. This contributes to bridging cancer health disparity in the population.
