This pilot study tests whether a structured case-finding pathway can help detect pancreatic cancer earlier in Swiss primary care. Adults aged 60 or older with warning signs like new-onset diabetes, unexplained weight loss, or a family history of pancreatic cancer are invited to u…

This study investigates whether offering regular breast ultrasound screening to women aged 65 to 80 can increase the rate of early-stage breast cancer detection compared to routine health check-ups. Over 82,000 women from communities in China will be assigned to either receive st…

This study looks at two ways to train non-radiologist doctors and nurses in rural Rwandan hospitals to perform breast ultrasound. The goal is to help women get diagnosed with breast cancer earlier, without having to travel to a big city hospital. About 1,792 women will take part,…

This study will test a new blood test that looks for DNA changes to detect ovarian cancer, especially in early stages. Researchers will compare test results from 1,000 women with and without ovarian cancer to see how accurate it is. If it works well, it could lead to a simple scr…

This observational study will test a new molecular test called CISENDO, which looks at DNA methylation in cells from a routine cervical smear. The goal is to see if it can accurately detect endometrial cancer or precancerous lesions in women at medium-to-high risk. Researchers wi…

This study will test whether artificial intelligence can analyze non-contrast breast MRI scans to detect cancer early, avoiding the need for contrast agents that can be costly and risky. Researchers plan to enroll 30,000 women aged 30-70 and compare AI readings to standard radiol…

This trial tests whether an online education program can improve migrant women's knowledge and attitudes toward cancer screening. Women aged 30-70 who are registered at a cancer screening center will be randomly assigned to receive the online program or usual care. Researchers wi…

This study tests a program called Empower LCS/Call+ to help adults who are at high risk for lung cancer complete their recommended screening. The program includes educational materials, reminders for patients and doctors, and support with financial or community resources. Some pa…

This study tests whether a special education program can increase breast and cervical cancer screening among visually impaired women. About 74 women over age 40 will receive training on cancer risks and how to schedule screenings. Researchers will check if screening rates and kno…
