PREVENTING AND DETECTING EARLY CANCERS
Contrary to popular belief, cancer can be cured – if it is discovered early. With vast improvements in cancer treatments, the survival rates for patients diagnosed with cancer have greatly increased over the years. By doing appropriate screening investigations, doctors are able to detect growths at a pre-cancerous stage or diagnose cancers at an early stage. Early detection and timely treatment can be given to address the progression of the cancer and often results in good survival outcomes.
In Singapore, the most common cancers include colorectal, stomach, and lung cancers.
