18 Year old can go to Uni because of suspected cancer

I actually want to know what help you can provide for a cancer sufferer living in Africa. The poor family can not provide or pay for the cost and the clinic which has suggested the sickness is cancer is not well equipped to trouble-shoot or diagnose the sickness.

What help or advice can cancer research provide for someone in a situation like this one. I travel to Ghana, West Africa when I saw this poor boy, it was a sad sight.

Many Thanks.
