Cancer epidemiology fieldwork in a resource-limited setting: Experience from the western Kenya ESCCAPE esophageal cancer case-control pilot study

ConclusionsExtra attention and funding to train and monitor data quality and biospecimen collection and collaboration of a large group held together by strong leadership are essential. We recommend studies based on regional treatment centres with their more defined catchment areas rather than in the capital cities as referral routes in multi-level health care systems are severely attrition prone.
