But When Diagnosed Early, Effective Treatment Is Possible.
It is important that you are fully aware of your condition, prognosis, available treatment options and preferences. In order to achieve that, close collaboration with your doctor is needed.
Considering the gravity of a cancer diagnosis, it is important to seek a professional opinion so as to make the most informed decision.
It serves as an extra layer of certainty to ensure that your initial diagnosis is accurate and your suggested treatment plan is ideal.
It serves as a chance to gain insight into possible alternative perspectives and treatment options available, and understand why they may or may not be suitable for you.
The most common cancer in Singapore, five people are diagnosed with colorectal cancer every day and two die of it. This sobering statistic is much too high, considering it is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers.
The primary cause of this statistic is due to low screening rates among Singaporeans. In most cases, colorectal cancer develops from a benign polyp in the colon which wasn’t detected and removed before it turned malignant.
However, the detection and removal of a polyp is actually very straightforward and easy – it can be done during the colon cancer screening itself, usually a colonoscopy. This is why regular screenings are highly recommended for people of average and high risk groups.
