🌍 Global Health in Action: The Global TEACH Project 🤝

Lakeshore Cancer Center is proud to be a key partner in the Global TEACH Project (GLOBAL); a transformative student exchange and research collaboration uniting the University of Pittsburgh (Main & Johnstown), Babcock University, and Lakeshore.

This dynamic program, supported by the Global Academic Partnership (GAP), brings together 24 students across Nigeria and the U.S. to tackle global cancer disparities. From cervical and breast cancer awareness campaigns in rural Nigeria to colorectal outreach in Appalachia, the impact has been deep and far-reaching.

🎓 At Lakeshore, we hosted 8 brilliant public health students from Babcock for a 12-week immersive internship. From clinic rotations to outreach planning, their experience underscored the power of early exposure and collaboration.

Meanwhile, our Medical Director, Dr. Oge Ilegbune, represented us in Pittsburgh, delivering a powerful lecture: “Bridging Borders for Health: Empowering Cancer Awareness through US–Nigeria Partnerships.” She met with global health leaders at UPMC, the Center for Global Health, and the PA Office of Rural Health, reflecting on our shared mission and the role of sustainable partnerships in improving outcomes globally.

💡 Key Takeaways:
• Student-led cancer awareness campaigns tailored to local communities
• Institutional commitment across borders drives sustainability
• Cross-cultural teamwork builds global citizens and health leaders

🌟 “We all spoke the same language of hope, innovation, and impact.”
– Dr. Oge Ilegbune

We’re excited for the future: expanding internships, exploring research pathways, and building the next generation of cancer care leaders. Because cancer knows no borders and neither should solutions.

🌍✨ Empowering Health Through Innovation ✨🌍

Lakeshore Cancer Center was honored to attend the 5th Africa Digital Health Summit 2025, themed “Strengthening Health Systems Through Digital Innovation, Data, and AI.”

It was a powerful two-day immersion into the future of healthcare, where cross-sector collaboration, artificial intelligence, and data-driven solutions are transforming access and delivery across Africa.

From inspiring keynote sessions to panel discussions on telemedicine, digital equity, health data, and cross-border partnerships, one key message stood out:
Africa is not just catching up, it’s creating bold, context-driven digital health solutions.

We were especially inspired by organizations leveraging digital tools to empower frontline health workers, bridge care gaps, and overcome economic and systemic barriers to healthcare.

We look forward to deepening our role in Nigeria’s digital health journey and collaborating with others to make quality cancer care accessible to all.

🌍 Reflections from Best of ASCO®, AORTIC Edition
Dr. Chinenye Iwuji, joined leading oncology minds at the Best of ASCO®, a global review of cutting-edge cancer research from the world’s premier oncology meeting.

The session on metastatic breast cancer spotlighted two urgent needs in our setting:
🔬 Expanding access to IHC testing
⚕️ Reducing the number of patients presenting with advanced disease

We also explored cost-effective treatment de-escalation strategies, a game-changer in resource-limited settings.

Beyond science, the conference dived deep into the human side of cancer care:
🚨 The pressing issue of talent migration in healthcare
🏃🏽‍♂️ Data showing structured exercise can reduce cancer recurrence by 40%, reaffirming the value of holistic oncology

Dr. Iwuji continues to represent Lakeshore in advocating for common sense oncology — where evidence meets context and compassion.

July is Sarcoma and bone cancer Awareness Month.
Sarcoma is a rare cancer that arises in the bones and soft tissues, affecting both children and adults.

Common symptoms include persistent swelling or a lump, unexplained pain, and fatigue.

Early detection is crucial, so be vigilant about any unusual changes in your body. While there’s no sure way to prevent sarcoma, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular checkups can aid in early diagnosis. Let’s spread the word, support research, and honor those affected.
