Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Health education programs and screening methods, such as clinical breast examination and examination of the cervix, may help reduce the number of women who develop breast cancer and cervical cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying the early detection of breast cancer and cervical cancer in women in India.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* To investigate the effectiveness of well planned health education programs (HEP) and low-cost screening methods (e.g., clinical breast examination \[CBE\] and visual inspection of the cervix painted with 4% acetic acid \[VIA\]) in down-staging and reducing the incidence of and mortality due to breast and cervical cancer.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

* Arm I (intervention): Participants undergo intervention comprising health education programs (HEP), clinical breast examination (CBE), and visual inspection of the cervix painted with 4% acetic acid (VIA) every 2 years for up to 8 years. Participants also undergo active surveillance over 8 years.
* Arm II (control): Participants receive one HEP. Participants also undergo active surveillance over 8 years.
