From patient records to registries, local data can help shape better cancer care.

Across Kenya and the region, valuable insights for improving cancer outcomes are already being generated through routine clinical care.

This May, as we observe , KESHO is hosting a CME focused on how to translate this data into meaningful research and practical impact.

From Data to Discovery:
Leveraging Registries and Clinical Insights to Advance Research

📅 7th May 2026
🕖 7:00–8:30 PM (EAT)

Join us as we explore how to:
• Strengthen cancer registries
• Make clinical documentation more impactful
• Use local data to inform care and policy

Cancer care is built by teams.

This Labour Day, KESHO recognizes the broad workforce behind cancer care, clinicians, nurses, laboratory and imaging teams, pharmacists, data and research teams, psychosocial support providers, community health workers, administrators and support staff.

Your work, both visible and behind the scenes, continues to strengthen care and improve outcomes for patients across Kenya.

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.

🗓️30th April 2026
🕖 19:00 - 20:30 PM (EAT)

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.
