Abstract
In many low- and middle-income countries (lmics) breast cancer is diagnosed at advanced stages. Many women present with a palpable breast mass, which is rare in communities where breast screening is available. In addition to limited imaging facilities, prolonged diagnostic delays (76-630 days) due in part to the extreme shortage of pathologists (as few as 1 per million/population) contribute to a 5-year mortality rate up to 4 times higher than that in the US. An innovative solution to this problem could be an affordable, easily deployable molecular test to identify and prioritize women likely to have a malignancy for expedited biopsy and pathology review. IT is well established that early detection of breast cancer improves survival. With our industrial partner, cepheid, we propose to build on our published breast cancer detection prototype to develop an affordable,
