Cancer screening is an important stake to decrease the morbidity and mortality of these diseases. In France, programmes of mass screening are organised mainly for breast and colon cancer but their efficiency among the population is poor. Individual screening by the general practitioner is not common because, without the appropriate tools, its implementation is difficult. To promote an Organised Individual Screening (OIS) for 7 cancers, the SFMG conceived a computerised unit and had it developed. This unit permits to group the patients according to the degree of risks as regards the 7 cancers. Thanks to a comparative study, we wanted to evaluate the number and the relevance of cancer screening realised by a group of practitioners who had no systems of references, no computer help as well as by a group of practitioners using a computer unit adapted to screening.
