Summary

Cervical cancer is a public health problem in Cameroon.In 2020, the country had a crude incidence of 20.2 per 100 000 women for an incidence to mortality ratio of 0.65. As for now, the country does not have a national screening program to combat the disease. Only 6% of cameroonian women have once been screened for cervical cancer. In order to increase screening uptake so as to reach 70% recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), a home-based cervical cancer screening approach is proposed. The objective of our study is to compare two recruitment strategies for cervical cancer screening in rural Cameroon.
