Description

The Cancer toolkit is an add-on toolkit, which can be used in conjunction with the H3Africa Core Phenotypes toolkit in order to collect essential phenotypes associated with Cancer-related research, including: Cancer Prognosis & Treatment History, Cancer Screenings and Cancer Family History. 

Administration

The phenotype protocols contained in the toolkit are Interviewer/Self-administered questionnaires. The toolkit is applicable to human participants of all life stages, though some phenotype protocols are age-specific. For more information on administration of the toolkit, see the toolkit guideline.
