Yemanja initiated an ethics board-approved pilot screening mammography study that aims to improve understanding of the breast abnormalities that could presage the development of breast cancer in these underserved populations. We enrolled 900 participants to the study and the mammography was performed by our contracted mammography providers in Lagos and Abuja. Data collection was through the Vanderbilt University NIH-sponsored REDCAP data collection system. The preliminary findings from this observational study were presented at the meeting of African Organization for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC) in Senegal in November 2023 and at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) in December 2023. 0 65000 Yemanja Cancer Care Initiative is continuing its ongoing program of cervical cancer screening in a small local government area near Lagos, the economic capital of Nigeria. Two thousand five hundred women have thus far been screened for cervical pre-cancer using a combined one-day screen and treat approach. Women who were confirmed to have lesions compatible with cervical pre-cancer were treated with thermal coagulation. The women are encouraged to return after 12 months for re-screening. We are well on our way to achieving the UN sustainable development goal of screening at least 70% of eligible women in the community. 0 7917 Yemanja Cancer Care Initiative partnered with local health care providers and nurses to carry out an ongoing community awareness and education campaign, highlighting the importance of early detection and early diagnosis for improving outcomes from breast and cervical cancer. There is a continuous outreach to community leaders, women's professional groups including hairdressers, dressmakers and market women and leaders and members of all religious organizations. 0 1000 73917 Oluwatoyin Shonukan President 20 0 0 0 Olujimi Akindele Vice President 1 0 0 0 Patrick Haslett Secretary 1 0 0 0 Philippe Samama Director 0.5 0 0 0 Khandan Baradaran Director 0.5 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 RI Oluwatoyin Shonukan 42 Neck Road Tiverton RI 02878 4013147385 1 NI 1 NI 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 10010 2500 12510 0 0 0 0 10010 2500 12510 12510 73559 2627 1958 78144 0 0 0 0 90654 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 The organization reported investment income of $73,359 in 2021.

This was part of a University of Lagos ethics board-approved mammography study to perform a pilot study of mammography prior to initiating a larger more-informative study. The preliminary results of this study were presented as a poster at the San Antonio Breast cancer Symposium in December 2023. In addition the organization continued the cervical cancer screen and treating program and is now close to achieving the goal of screening 80% of eligible women in the local government area in which the screening operation is taking place.
