Cancer Rates Are Growing Faster In Africa

Than On Any Other Continent &

Africa Will Surpass All Continents

In Cancer Deaths By Year 2040


CANCER IS A SEVERELY UNADDRESSED EMERGING PUBLIC  HEALTH PROBLEM IN AFRICA

People of African ancestry across the globe, whether in Brazil, the Caribbean, United States, Europe, etc. or Africa, are disproportionately affected by cancer. On the Continent, the occurrence of cancer varies remarkably from that of the West. The types of cancer, the stage of diagnosis, the sex of patients, and the age at which patients are diagnosed all differ, with incidence and mortality rates being much higher.

CANCER IN People of African Ancestry WORLDWIDE

Worldwide people of African ancestry face higher cancer incidence and mortality rates than any other racial group.
Worldwide people of African ancestry are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer at later stages; leading to lower survival rates.
Worldwide people of African ancestry develop certain cancers at an earlier age than other racial groups.
Worldwide people of African ancestry are overwhelmingly under-represented in cancer research worldwide.

CHALLENGE

REDUCE THE BURDEN OF CANCER IN WEST AFRICA

Many of the major cancer types affecting West Africans are highly treatable when diagnosed early. However, there is no major comprehensive cancer facility within West Africa that’s capable of providing today’s most innovative and effective treatment options currently available in other parts of the world. Further, too many West Africans are needlessly succumbing to cancers that are either preventable or easily identifiable and treatable with early detection.
