Patcha Foundation at the Annual Regional Littoral Oncology Meeting in Douala, Cameroon

This week, the Patcha Foundation proudly participated in the Annual Oncology Meeting on Cervical Cancer, held under the powerful theme: “CervicalCancer: Between International Standards and Operational Realities.”

We joined oncology experts, health leaders, and advocates to discuss the critical gaps—and opportunities—in prevention, screening, treatment, and access to care for women in Africa.

Our participation strengthens our commitment to reducing the cancer burden among African peoples, and we are energized to apply new insights to our programs, medical missions, and community education efforts.

Together, we can close the gap and save more lives.

Today is the Great American Smokeout!
Every cigarette not smoked is a victory for your health — and for your future.

To***co use is the leading cause of preventable cancer deaths, but quitting — even for one day — is the first step toward freedom from addiction and a healthier, longer life.

Whether it’s your first attempt or your tenth, today is the perfect day to start again.
You don’t have to do it alone — seek support, talk to your doctor, and connect with others who are quitting too.

🚭 Make today your quit day.
Your body, your loved ones, and your future self will thank you.

Lung cancer often shows no early signs, but when symptoms do appear, they shouldn’t be ignored. Watch for:
• Persistent cough or a cough that gets worse
• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Unexplained weight loss
• Coughing up blood
• Frequent lung infections (pneumonia or bronchitis)
• Fatigue

Early detection saves lives. Ask your doctor about lung cancer screening, and if you or someone you love is experiencing these symptoms, seek medical care promptly.

Today for World Cervical Cancer Elimination Day of Action we call on the global health community to prioritize equitable access to HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening and treatment for all women.

We also urge each of us to go our part. Share in the comments how you are fighting back against cervical cancer.

Helicobacter pylori or h. Pylori is a bacterium that causes gastritis. Untreated h. Pylori is a leading cause of gastric cancer also known as stomach cancer.

H. Pylori is diagnosed by simple, fast and un-invasive tests. Treatment of choice is a a short course of antibiotics.

At your next doctor visit ask about h. Pylori testing. It is the first step in the elimination of a major often overlooked cancer risk.
