Bringing Breast Ultrasound to District Hospitals in Rwanda
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study aims to bring breast ultrasound directly to district hospitals in Rwanda, so more women can be screened for breast cancer close to home — without having to travel long distances. It will test a new way of delivering ultrasound that is easier for patients and staff.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The hospital must be a district hospital in Rwanda.
- Your hospital must already be part of the Women's Cancer Early Detection Program (doctors trained in breast and cervical cancer screening).
- Your hospital must use (or be ready to start using) the program's electronic medical record system.
- Your hospital must not be already offering routine breast ultrasound scans.

This study uses interviews and surveys to learn about stigma related to breast and cervical cancer in Rwanda. It aims to help improve care and support for patients, caregivers, and healthcare workers.
This study checks whether a tablet-based ultrasound can find breast lumps that look suspicious for cancer. If it works well, it could help diagnose breast cancer faster in Nigeria where patients may need a biopsy or surgery next.
This trial tests if a portable ultrasound device can help quickly evaluate breast lumps found during a physical exam. It aims to improve screening in places where standard mammography may not be available.
This trial tests whether using a robot to perform breast ultrasound can help find cancer early. You would use a smartphone to guide the screening, and the study compares this method to standard screening.
This study tests a tablet-based ultrasound (a scan using sound waves) to help identify breast lumps that look like cancer. If your lump looks suspicious, the scan result is intended to guide next steps like biopsy or surgical removal at the hospital.
This study evaluates how to improve testing of hormone receptors (which helps guide breast cancer treatment) in Tanzania. It uses interviews or focus groups with breast cancer survivors, advocates, and healthcare workers, plus reviews of existing medical records.
