Bringing breast ultrasound to district hospitals in Rwanda
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to bring breast ultrasound to more women in Rwanda by testing different strategies at district hospitals. If your hospital joins, it may help find breast cancer earlier and improve care for women in your community.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your hospital must be a district hospital in Rwanda.
- Clinicians in your district must have already received the national training in breast and cervical cancer early detection.
- Your hospital and health centers must be using the electronic medical record system, or be ready to start using it.
- Your hospital should not already be doing routine breast ultrasound exams.

This study looks at how stigma affects people with breast or cervical cancer in Rwanda and aims to create a program to reduce it. It includes interviews and a pilot program with patients, caregivers, and community health 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 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.
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.
