title: [Results and development in cancer screening programs].
abstract: In order to contribute to the definition of good model for cancer screening programs, the paper reports an overview of Veneto Local Health Units' results according to required "gold standard" defined by the authors. The analysis was based on a standard attesting that the program is running stabely and a standard for the organisation requiring that general management is performed by a unique central unit, supplied with a unique software and a working group equipped with specific know-how. Ten of the 21 Locale Health Unit of Veneto Region chose to assign to Prevention Department (Public Health Department) all the three screening programs included in the National Prevention Plan. Among these we found the two achieving the defined gold standard (Thiene and Pieve di Soligo). Management model implemented in these units showed a framework for excellence.
