Hello April!
This month shines a light on cancers that affect Blacks at higher rates, like testicular cancer, head & neck cancers, and young adult cancers. Early knowledge can save lives, and talking about our health is a form of love — for ourselves and for our families.

What you can do today and throughout April:
• Talk to your doctor about screenings
• Check in on your loved ones
• Share this post to spread awareness
• Learn the signs and listen to your body

Our community is powerful when we look out for each other. Let’s make April a month of action, healing, and knowledge.

Beaucoup de personnes ne connaissent pas la différence entre le cancer a**l et le cancer re**al — pourtant, cela peut sauver des vies.

Ces cancers touchent des zones proches, mais ils sont différents. Ils n’ont pas les mêmes causes, les mêmes facteurs de risque ni les mêmes signes.

Soyez attentif à votre corps.
Ces signes ne doivent jamais être ignorés.

Un dépistage précoce peut sauver des vies.
👉 Consultez un professionnel de santé si quelque chose vous semble anormal.

The 13th International Congress on Cervical Cancer just ended in Yaoundé Cameroon. The Patcha Foundation was represented at the three-day event by Mr. Henry Nkwa, our Program Manager.

The event was jointly organized by the Ecole Nationale Supérieure Polytechnique de Yaoundé, the University of Yaoundé, the University Hospitals of Yaounde, the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and the University Hospitals of Geneva.

In addition to updating knowledge on cervical cancer prevention, and sharing expertise in the diagnosis and management of precancerous and early invasive cervical lesions, the congress introduced the innovative use of artificial intelligence in cervical cancer screening to improve detection and management practices.

The takeaways were many but one unifying action point emerged:
There must be strong alignment with WHO targets for eliminating cervical cancer: 90% vaccination, 70% screening and 90% treatment.

Patcha Foundation is committed to this goal and we are honored to be part of history in the making.

Which of these gives you the most hope?

Progress is more than just a statistic—it’s more time with the people we love.

The latest data from Q1 2026 shows that cancer survival rates in the U.S. have reached a milestone 70%. This is a testament to the power of research, early detection, and the incredible new therapies being approved by the FDA this year.

From advancements in "liquid biopsies" (blood tests that catch cancer early) to the rise of personalized vaccines, the landscape of cancer care is shifting toward more effective, less toxic treatments.

We have compiled the Top 10 findings from the first quarter of 2026 so you can see how research is changing the game for patients and families everywhere.

Which of these gives you the most hope? Comment below!

Do you know your risk?

March is Colore**al Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s time for a serious conversation. While we often think of this as an "older person’s disease," cases are rising in adults under 50. In fact, more people in their 30s and 40s are being diagnosed—and dying—from colore**al cancer than in years past.

Do you have any of these risks? Do not wait for “someday”.

If you have a family history or other risk factors, you may need to be screened even earlier than 45.

Call to Action: Talk to your doctor this week about your specific risk factors. Defend your health—get screened!
