This article takes a quick tour of the main features of cancerscreening.
Remember to see the articles for more detailed treatment of all these topics and more.
Key Functions for Data Download:
These functions directly call the KHIS server to download the data
require the setting of KHIS credentials. See setting
the credentials for more information. The get analytics call is
supported by three metadata functions that help make the data complete
and these include the get_organisation_units_metadata() to
show where the data is from and
get_data_elements_metadata() to show what the data is about
and group the data into various categories.
The cancer screening data that are being tracked breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer and laboratory diagnostic data.
Cervical Cancer:
-
get_cervical_screened(): Downloads data on women screened for cervical cancer. -
get_cervical_positive(): Retrieves data on women who tested positive for cervical pre-cancer or cancer. -
get_cervical_treated(): Accesses data on women who received treatment for cervical pre-cancer or cancer.
Breast Cancer:
-
get_breast_cbe(): Downloads data on women who received CBE for breast cancer screening. -
get_breast_ultrasound(): Downloads data on women who received ultrasound for breast cancer screening. -
get_breast_mammogram(): Downloads data on women who received mammograms for breast cancer screening.
Colorectal Cancer:
-
get_colorectal_fobt(): Retrieves data on individuals who receive FOBT for colorectal cancer screening tests. -
get_colorectal_colonoscopy(): Retrieves data on individuals who receive colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening tests.
Laboratory Data
-
get_lab_fluid_cytology(): Retrieve data on fluid cytology done in the lab. They include Ascitic fluid, cerebral spinal fluid, pleural fluid and urine. -
get_lab_tissue_histology(): Retrieve data on tissue histology done in the lab. They include Breast, colorectal, oesphageal, head & neck, hepatobiliary, lymph nodes, oral, ovary, prostate, skin and uterine tissues; -
get_lab_bone_marrow(): Retrieve data on bone marrow done in the lab. -
get_lab_fna(): Retrieve data on fine-needle aspiration done in the lab. They include breast, liver, lymph node and thyroid. -
get_lab_smears()Retrieve data on smears done in the lab. They include pap smear, tissue impressions, and touch preparation.
To get the data the following calls can be made

#> # ℹ 1 more variable: category <fct>Target Population Functions:
These functions do not require to access the KHIS server the project and calculate the target population guided the Kenya housing and population census 2019 and the Kenya National Cancer Screening guidelines 2019.
The functions include: get_cervical_target_population(),
get_colorectal_target_population(),
get_breast_cbe_target_population() and
get_breast_mammogram_target_population().
If these function do not meet your criteria you can make your target
population using the get_filtered_population().
