[The anticancer regional office, a screening facility in Isère].
The Isère anticancer departmental office (ODLC) created by order in June 1981, assumes the responsibility of screening. Since 1991 its action has focused on breast cancer mass screening in women aged 50 to 69 years, as well as cervix, colon and rectum carcinomas for the same age group. The board of directors includes politicians and representatives of administrative services from, DASS, DISS, CHU, cancer registry, centre d'études nucléaires, University Joseph Fourier, the French Medical Association, medical trade-unions, CPAM, and charitable organizations. Its budget for 1995 was 3.6 million FF, subsidized up to 90% by the regional council. After being invited by CPAM or private insurances, each woman is submitted to a consultation with a general practitioner or gynecologist who fill in the questionnaire, perform a clinical examination (including PAP smears), prescribe a mammography and give a hemoccult test. This mass screening is free of charge thanks to FNPIES, CPAM and private insurances. ODLC seems to be the most qualified structure of coordination and follow-up to take charge of a departmental mass screening.
