EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT
Our study on BRCA1/2 variants in Nigerian breast cancer patients is now accepted in Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment @TCRT_Cancer.
#BRCA #BreastCancer #healthEquity
Yesssss o my sister! The membership & financial contributions of Nigerians in @AORTIC_AFRICA is highly significant. Not to have AORTIC main conference in Nigeria even once while other countries have hosted twice continues to be puzzling. Time for main conference is in #Nigeria
Recent data showed that Ikorodu local government area of Lagos State, with a population of over 1mil1 million the LGA with the highest 10-year cancer incidence per million inhabitants. Yet, no cancer screening facility in that community.

We were honored to have the king and another king from a nearby kingdom show up for screening.
This is community leadership at its best.
We screened over 150 men during this 2-day event.
How better can you be received into an African community than for the King to welcome you into his palace?
The Igbogbo community put together an outstanding host team, led by Dr Andu of the General Hospital, Ikorodu, the health supervisor at the Local Council Development Area, and others. They were the heroes of this outreach.
Our team included 3 Urologists, @ABeR_center behavioral scientists led by @cathbadejo1, and a host of basic scientists, including @kemirotimi, @attitte, @opedeCampos.
Well, we have more females on our team who care about men!
I am the only man in my lab!
