154 Chapter 6 important to screen those with the highest risk of developing the screening-specific tumours. Conclusion Our study indicated that the cancer screening programmes (CSPs) are a regular topic during consultation hours and that GPs judge this as a topic in which they like to stay involved. GPs are not eager to take on more logistical/organisational tasks but are willing to positively empower the CSPs and especially targeting subpopulations at highest risk. Several suggestions emerged from our study to further optimise the CSPs. A targeted proactive primary care approach was suggested as a desirable option.
