Cancer cases in Malaysia are increasing due to late detection. According to the World Health Organization, the most common cancers in Malaysia are Breast cancer, Colorectal cancer, Lung cancer, Nasopharyngeal cancer, and Liver cancer. Breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and lung cancer make up about half of the total cancer cases reported by the Malaysia National Cancer Registry.
On that note, Detect To Protect aims to raise awareness about the importance of early detection of cancer, prevention, and the treatments available.
The depiction of butterflies used in the Detect To Protect initiative is related to its deep and powerful representation of life. They also symbolise hope, change and endurance.
Together, with your support, let's promote early detection, self-examination, understanding the signs & symptoms, and reducing the risk factors. Go for early screening for peace of mind at any Gleneagles Hospitals today.
Breast cancer arises from uncontrollable cell growth in the breast.
