PatikraLietuva

Lithuania runs five funded prevention programmes and delivers all of them through the family doctor rather than by invitation letter. Breast screening was widened to 45–74 at the start of 2025.

Šiame puslapyje aprašomos patikros programos; tai nėra diagnozė, nėra asmeninis rizikos įvertinimas ir nepakeičia jūsų sveikatos priežiūros paslaugų. Amžiaus grupes nustato kiekviena valstybė ir jos kinta — gautas kvietimas ir jūsų šalies puslapyje nurodyta institucija yra svarbesni už viską, kas parašyta čia. Patikra skirta žmonėms be simptomų: naujas gumbas, matomas kraujas, pasikeitęs apgamas, nepaaiškinamas svorio mažėjimas ar staigus regos arba klausos pokytis reikalauja gydytojo dabar, kad ir ką rodė neseni patikros rezultatai.

Programos

No letter, so the appointment is yours to make

Lithuania funds prevention through the compulsory health insurance fund and routes every programme through the family doctor with whom you are registered. There is no national call-and-recall letter. The practical consequence is that attendance depends on you booking, and on the practice remembering to raise it — so the useful habit is to ask at any appointment you are already attending: "am I in any of the prevention programmes this year?" The tests themselves cost nothing.

Breast screening now starts at 45

Until the end of 2024 the mammography programme covered women aged 50 to 69. From 1 January 2025 it covers women aged 45 to 74, invited by the family doctor once every two years — a change that follows the European recommendation to widen the band beyond the old 50–69 core. Five extra years at the young end and five at the old end is a large expansion, and if you turned 45 recently the offer is new enough that you may need to raise it yourself.

Cervical, bowel and prostate

Cervical screening covers women aged 25 to 59 with a cytology sample every three years. Bowel screening covers everyone aged 50 to 74 with a faecal occult blood test every two years. Prostate is the distinctive one: Lithuania funds a PSA test every two years for men aged 50 to 69, and from 45 for men with a first-degree family history — a much more permissive position than Sweden, which recommends against organised PSA screening altogether. Both positions are defensible on the same evidence, which tells you how genuinely finely balanced prostate screening is.

The cardiovascular programme

Alongside the cancer programmes there is a funded cardiovascular risk programme: a yearly check with the family doctor for adults in the relevant age band, covering blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides, an ECG and a risk assessment, with a personalised prevention plan if you come out in the high-risk group. The age band has been revised recently, so ask your practice what the current one is rather than relying on a figure you read anywhere — including here.

Pagal amžiaus grupes

Vėl ta pati lentelė, tik apversta: kiekvienas amžius, kuriame kas nors tampa aktualu, kad galėtumėte rasti savo ir perskaityti eilutę. Ji sugeneruojama serveryje, todėl veikia nepriklausomai nuo to, ar veikia toliau esanti skaičiuoklė.

Moterys: amžiaus kopėčios

Men: amžiaus kopėčios

Kur intervalas nustatomas regioniškai, nurodomas tik amžius, kuriuo grupė atsidaro — pakartojimo intervalą skelbia pačios šalies institucija. Amžius yra tas, kurį sulaukiate kalendoriniais metais, nes tikslinės grupės visame regione sudaromos pagal gimimo metus, o ne gimimo datas.
