About

About St. Cyril Cancer Foundation

St. Cyril Cancer Foundation is the U.S.-based sister organization of St. Cyril Cancer Treatment Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to improving cancer outcomes across Nigeria.

Working in close partnership with Oak Cancer Specialist Hospitals, a specialist oncology provider in Lagos, Nigeria, the Foundation supports community awareness, early detection, patient support, professional education, and strategic partnerships that strengthen access to quality cancer care.

Our mission is to help build a future where access to life-saving cancer care is determined less by geography and more by opportunity.
