Overview

Casuistry brings the evidence that the present extent of examination before each blood donation is not sufficient for the identification of malignancies. Donation of blood can coincide with the development of tumour into a far gone stage or into generalization. Sensitivity of the pre-extraction examination for the presence of malignancy is low.

Key words:
blood donor, malignancy, sensitivity of examination.
