Mazvita Sengayi-Muchengeti: I co-chaired session on HPV-driven cancers at EUROGIN 2025
Mazvita Sengayi-Muchengeti, Head of Department at the National Health Laboratory Service in South Africa, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“This morning Sizeka Mashele and I co-chaired a scientific session on ‘Structural and social factors that impact HPV driven cancers’ at the EUROGIN 2025 conference in Porto, Portugal.
The presenters included representatives of three African Cancer Registry Network member registries who participated in our Cervical Cancer Record Linkage Training in August 2024.
Lydia Businge from Rwanda spoke of disparities in cervical cancer survival by province of residence, Brighten Mkhatshwa from eSwatini spoke on cervical cancer screening outcomes by HIV status, Sizeka Mashele from South Africa spoke on racial disparities in HPV-related cancers in SA (work done in collaboration with National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Daniel Kipo from Ghana who is a PhD student at SwissTPH spoke on HPV driven cancers in the South African HIV Cancer Match study.
I am very proud of these young African cancer epidemiologists and the growth I have seen in them in leadership and harmonising cervical cancer data to inform policy. The cervical cancer linkage work is from the IARC-GICR Centre of Expertise in Johannesburg funded by Vital Strategies and the Network for Oncology Research in Africa.
Towards data-driven cervical cancer policies for Africa.”
