Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Nigerian women. In GLOBOCAN 2022, Nigeria was estimated to have 32,278 new female breast cancer cases and 16,332 deaths, with an age-standardized incidence rate of 51.5 per 100,000 women and mortality rate of 26.2 per 100,000 women.
Keypoints
What We’ve Done
We launched a breast cancer awareness T-shirt fundraiser in partnership with The Association of Nigerian Physicians in the Americas (ANPA)—an organization known for supporting:
• mobile mammogram screenings
• community awareness campaigns
• medical missions in Nigeria
Together, we have raised initial funds toward purchasing a mobile mammogram screening machine.
What We’re Working Toward
Our goal is to:
• Bring mobile breast cancer screening directly to communities
• Reach hundreds of women across Southeast Nigeria
• Expand services across all southeastern states
But we need more funding to make this a reality.
Why It Matters
Breast cancer is the leading cancer among women in Nigeria, and:
• most women present at advanced stages
• screening access is limited
• early detection can save lives
