Join us on Wednesday, March 2, 2022, at 3 PM (+8 GMT) for our BizTalks webinar with Sunway Medical Centre on the topic All About Cancer.

It will be an in-depth discussion on the topic of cancer. Based on 2021 WHO statistics, an estimated 400 000 children and adolescents of 0-19 years old develop cancer. In high-income countries, where comprehensive services are generally accessible, more than 80% of children with cancer are cured. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), less than 30% are cured. Lack of diagnosis, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, abandonment of treatment are the common causes that can impact the treatment outcome of childhood cancers.

The webinar aims to provide a general understanding of childhood cancers and a glimpse of adult cancers to better equip parents and the larger community in combating cancers. Cancer is not the end, with the right diagnosis, customized treatment, and proper follow-up care, cancers can be beaten.
