Summary
This study tests whether community education and support can increase the number of women in Kenya who get screened for breast and cervical cancer. Researchers will enroll 5,400 women aged 30-55 and track how many complete recommended screenings and follow-up care. The goal is to find cost-effective ways to catch these cancers earlier and improve survival.
