Ways To Fight Cancer

In Singapore, cancer is one of the leading causes of death — but early detection saves lives.

Regular cancer screenings can detect cancer in its earliest stages, often before symptoms appear. When caught early, treatment is more effective, less invasive, and the chances of survival are much higher.

So, what screening tests are recommended for you?

Cancer happens when cells in the body grow uncontrollably and spread.

It can affect anyone — you, your family, and your friends. But with early detection, healthy living, and the right support, many cancers can be treated or even prevented.
