Abstract: 

Early cancer screening is the most effective way to reduce cancer mortality. The number of potentially viable tumor markers (TMs) is rapidly expanding and promises further improvement in sensitivity and specificity. The article presents the results of a population-based study of screening for the most common types of cancer in individuals living in South Yakutia.
