Rwanda17,379 participantsStarted 2020-07-01

Plain-language summary

This observational study evaluates scale-up of a breast cancer early detection program in Rwanda that was initially piloted in a single district. Specifically investigators will examine patient volume, service delivery, loss-to-follow-up rates, and cancer detection rates noted following implementation of scale-up to 3 additional districts. For scaleup, breast cancer screening with CBE was added to a cervical cancer screening initiative, in a combined Women's Cancer Early Detection Program (WCEDP).
