As we close April, we reflect on men’s health and awareness.

Testicular cancer is often associated with younger men, but in many African settings, experiences also highlight later presentation and the realities of accessing timely care.

This week’s CME brings together clinicians to discuss how testicular cancer is approached in practice, from diagnosis to treatment and supportive care.

Advancing cancer care requires more than data, it requires dialogue.

Abstract submissions for KICC 2026 are now in their final days.

The Kenya International Cancer Conference brings together clinicians, researchers, and policymakers to engage on what truly shapes practice: from patient-centered care and financing to real-world evidence and innovation.

If your work contributes to improving cancer outcomes in our setting, this is the platform to share it, connect with peers, and move evidence into practice.
