Phenotype and gene frequencies among Atacameño Indians are presented for nine serum protein polymorphisms (Hp, Gc with subtypes, Tf with subtypes, Amy, C3, Bf, PLG) and nine red-cell-enzyme polymorphisms (AcP, PGM1 with subtypes, AK, ADA, 6-PGD, GPT, EsD, GLO). Four systems--Tf, Amy, AK, ADA were found to be monomorphic. In the PGM1 subtypes an extremely high frequency of PGM1a3 could be observed. In two samples a new Gc mutant was identified and classified as Gc1A26. In the EsD system an unusual phenotype was detected in one sample.

Objective: Cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with India experiencing a significant cancer burden. Effective population-based cancer screening is crucial for early detection and reduction of cancer-related deaths. This study aims to develop a mobile application-based Cancer Screening and Surveillance System (CSMS) to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of population-based cancer screening by community health workers (CHWs).

Background: Screening for breast cancer has been effective in decreasing mortality. Mammography is not readily available in resource-limited countries like India. Annual clinical breast examination has been demonstrated to be as effective as biennial mammography in reducing mortality with much less cost.
