In Singapore today, cancer is the major cause of death. When cancer is diagnosed, the patient, the family and his/her friends suffer from intense fear and uncertainty. But, we can conquer cancer. Already, medical science is making rapid and continued progress with new diagnostics and treatment methods, which are aimed at better cures and better care for each patient. However, each individual should also take responsibility for his/her own health, by being aware of the risk factors and early signs and symptoms, by going for proper screenings and, most importantly, by leading healthy lifestyles. Here at SingHealth, we are committed to giving you access to high quality, comprehensive and appropriate information, medical treatment and support to help you cope with cancer. We have taken the initiative to compile this brochure for you, to empower you to take care of yourself. Knowing your risk factors, and being able to detect signs and symptoms early make the fight against cancer that much easier to win. With an internationally qualified faculty of doctors and dedicated healthcare professionals, coupled with the use of the latest medical technology and facilities, our institutions work together to offer a range of seamlessly integrated services, which include one-stop centres for screening, detection and treatment of cancers. This ensures that you receive the most appropriate attention and care. We want to be there for you in your time of need. We will give you the best medical attention that you can receive. Cancer IS conquerable. Let us work together to win the battle against cancer. Prof Soo Khee Chee Director National Cancer Centre Singapore
