NCT ID NCT05817370
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a training program tailored for Nigerian doctors improves their ability to screen and treat high-grade anal lesions compared to standard training. One physician will receive both types of training to see which leads to better detection and treatment. The goal is to find a more effective way to prevent anal cancer in low-resource settings.
