Outcome of the randomized control screening trials on oral, cervix and breast cancer from India and way forward in COVID-19 pandemic situation Dear Editor, Indian researchers have conducted the randomized control screening trials on oral, cervix and breast cancers in different locations of India. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] These screening procedures were both simple and inexpensive. The outcomes of the trials were published in the high impact journals. Implementation and execution of these randomized control screening trials in Indian setup was a challenging task.

According to the oral cancer screening trials, performing three rounds of visual inspection of the oral cavity will prevent at least 37 000 deaths worldwide. 1 Visual examination of the cervix following the application of 3% to 5% acetic (VIA) acid in one-time screening for cervix cancer revealed a 35% reduction in morality (0.65 95% confidence interval
