Vans equipped with ultrasound, biopsy kits, cervical screening and a link to a distant pathologist could bring a cancer diagnosis, and for cervical pre-cancer immediate treatment, to villages far from any hospital.
Rural patients in LMICs often make three or four long trips before diagnosis, and patients drop out at each step. A mobile unit staffed by a nurse and a clinical officer, carrying portable ultrasound, core-biopsy equipment, HPV testing and thermal ablation, and connected to a telepathology hub, compresses the pathway into one or two visits. Mobile breast and cervical screening exists in several countries; combining diagnosis and treatment in one visit is the new step.
