CANCER
The SEACO-trained DCs contacted (via phone) women who were randomised to the CG—during this call, they informed women who agreed to participate that BC is the commonest cancer amongst women in Malaysia and about the importance of early detection. Women in the CG did not receive the intervention (described above) but they could avail of ‘usual’ screening via their local clinic–however, elective procedures were stopped at the local government clinics to facilitate COVID-19 vaccinations and patients. In addition, CG participants were offered a scheduled free CBE at the LPPKN clinic after the follow-up data collection phase had been completed– 26/258 women availed of the offer and received a CBE at the LPPKN clinic.
