Abstract
The National Cancer Program01 includes many strategies and tasks that require interdisciplinary cooperation and comprehensive approaches. General practitioners (GPs) have a special role in all stages of cancer related challenges; in primary and secondary prevention, early diagnosis, treatment, remission, palliative and terminal care.
Our paper shows some aspects of the GPs' role in oncology; in particular it comes with the first assessment of the impact that changes introduced in 2019 have brought, with new conditions enabling transfer of cancer patients in remission from special cancer centres to GPs.
