Oncological screenings: The screening program consists of the free and active offer (personal invitation) to the population, at risk by age, of practices that have proved to be able to significantly affect the natural history of the disease (reduction of morbidity and mortality) maintaining A convenient relationship between costs (economic, psychological, social) and the benefits (Omswilson, 1968). Oncological screenings organized currently active in our country are: The objective of oncological screening programs is the reduction of mortality. According to the national guidelines (PNLG) "the assumptions that are the basis of the offer of an oncological screening test to a hypothetically healthy population are: 1. that it is possible to identify the neoplasm, if present, when still asymptomatic; 2. that this anticipation of the diagnosis translates into a concrete benefit, first of all in terms of survival extension. Always the PNLG in the document at the evaluation of services stresses that: "Screening by nature is a tool that requires caution, because it proposes to asymptomatic people, who have a perception of their positive health, a diagnostic test that can reveal the presence of a cancer in its latency period". For this reason, another professional figure represented by the "psycho-oncologist" has also become part of the last decade. As we see below the screening of the uterus's neck cancer falls more than others in the two requirements (A and (B first mentioned. Tumors that affect the uterus must be distinguished in cervix cancers and body tumors based on the segment that comes Struck by neoplasm. This work will pay attention to the first group, which by natural history, risk factors, incidence, clinical trend, therapy and finally survival. For many years, it has been the subject of public health interventions aimed at its Primary and secondary prevention.

Mesolithic-Neolithic transition in Eastern Sudan.The contribution of dental anthropology Giusy CapassoSpecializing student, University of Padova, Italy; IAEES (Italian Archaeological Expedition to the Eastern Sudan of the University of Naples u201cLu2019Orientaleu201d and ISMEO) member.Since 1980, the Italian Archaeological Expedition to the Eastern Sudan aims at reconstructing the past of this region whose cultural sequence goes from the 6th millennium BC to the 1st millennium AD. For this area, the archaeological evidence dates the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition to the 4th millennium BC. Ongoing bioarchaeological studies, encompassing anthropological, archaeobotanical and archeozoological data, are actively contributing in understanding the bio-cultural effects of this phenomenon. The anthropological analyses, focused on the comparative study of the dental samples from the Mesolithic site of UA50 (5th millennium BC) and the Neolithic one of K1 (3rd millennium BC), show an increase in oral pathologies in the latter phase, in line with the archaeological and bioarchaeological evidence of a change in subsistence activities: for Mesolithic times, the exploitation of gastropods was recorded, while, evidence for the Neolithic K1 points to a regular introduction of domesticated vegetables in the diets, with a subsequent increase of carbohydrate consumption, one of the key factors in the onset of oral pathologies.This first evidence will be further investigated by adding more samples from future excavation campaigns and by analyzing dental calculus inclusions in order to obtain more specific information on the diet of these human groups.
