This session examines the clinical and pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced breast cancer at Kijabe Hospital in Kenya, where breast cancer mortality remains high and treatment data are limited. By strengthening access to in-house immunohistochemistry testing and evaluating residual cancer burden, the study aims to improve treatment decision-making, pathology reporting, and policy guidance for breast cancer care in Kenya. The 60-minute session includes Q&A with the presenters.

Presenters:
Rondi Kauffmann, MD, MPH
Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Kijabe Hospital in Kijabe, Kenya

Rosemary Wangari Kamau, MMed, Pathology
Kijabe Mission Hospital in Kiambu County, Kijabe, Kenya and The Pathology Network (TPN)

Launched in 2022, the CAP Foundation Global Pathology Development Grant (GPDG) provides funding to international pathologists/pathology organizations supporting impactful, and sustainable projects that develop, expand, and sustain the delivery of pathology services through education/training, patient care, laboratory quality, or enhanced technology and laboratory diagnostics. This webinar provides a platform for GPDG recipients to share the outcomes of their projects and how these findings enhanced the practice of pathology, directly improving patient care.

Sponsored by the CAP Foundation’s Global Pathology Committee, you have the opportunity to:
• learn about CAP Foundation funded projects that expand the delivery of pathology services in under-resourced areas across the globe
• understand the challenges faced by pathologists in the delivery of pathology services in low- and middle-income countries
• provide inspiration to adopt/implement and support projects to further the delivery of pathology services in under-resourced global communities
