Africa Builds Its Own Cancer Atlas – CancerWorld

CancerWorld shared a post on X:

“Africa Builds Its Own Cancer Atlas.

In oncology today, precision medicine is only as precise as the DATA behind it. Yet, LESS THAN 2% of genomic data used in cancer research comes from African populations. That gap is a global blind spot.

Now, a bold initiative is changing the narrative.

Yemaachi Biotech, a Ghana-based company, is leading The African Cancer Atlas (TACA), a landmark effort to sequence 15,000 cancer genomes across the continent.

With support from over 25 hospitals across 9 African countries and early backing from Roche, TACA aims to:

  • Improve treatment outcomes for African patients
  • Empower local researchers with cutting-edge genomic tools
  • Uncover new insights that benefit all cancer patients worldwide
