In loving memory of Mr. Agboola, whose bravery and openness touched hearts around the world. Through his story, he gave hope to countless men and families facing prostate cancer.
We honor his legacy and will continue the work he believed in. 💙💙💙
#iCCaRE #ProstateCancerAwareness #InMemoriam
Even though September has ended, our commitment to prostate cancer awareness continues year-round. Early detection saves lives and conversations like these keep that message alive. 💙

Dr. Tingyu Zou presented findings from Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center’s cancer-focused needs assessment in catchment areas, highlighting contextual drivers of health disparities.
🎉 Congratulations, Dr. Tingyu Zou! 🎉
iCCaRE awards $5K for the Early Career Investigator Stimulus Award for the project: “What Prostate Cancer Messages Motivate Black Men to Screen? – A Mixed Methods Study.” 🧪📊
This study combines a randomized experiment with focus groups to tackle gaps in cancer communication and health disparities.
Congratulations Dr.Zou! We can’t wait to see how these findings advance prostate cancer screening and evidence-based messaging for Black men. 👏🏽

🌍As CaPTC celebrates two decades of impact, researchers are urging urgent action in prostate cancer, especially focused on early detection, African centered clinical trials, and survivor support.
“African men are still more likely to be diagnosed at a late stage and more likely to die from prostate cancer than their counterparts in Europe or North America. Behind every statistic is a family shattered. That is why we cannot relent.” – Prof. Folakemi Odedina
This is more than an anniversary, it’s a moment to recommit! CaPTC’s next mission is grooming the Next Generation of African scientists, clinicians, and advocates. They’re here to ensure that locally conducted research leads to tailored treatment strategies, real policy change, and stronger communities.

🧬 Why Representation in Research Matters
“If we do not conduct clinical trials in Africa, we cannot truly know how effective new prostate cancer drugs will be for African men.” – Prof. Folakemi Odedina
Clinical trials in Africa are not optional, they’re essential. Locally led research ensures that therapies address the genetic, dietary, and environmental factors unique to our populations.
