WITH the aim of increasing awareness of cancer and, consequently, its prevention and treatment, the premiere American cancer centre West Medical Group has tied up with the local Breast Cancer Foundation for a year-long series of free talks called “Life Matters.”
The talks will be held every last Wednesday of the month at Camden Medical Centre, where West Medical Group Singapore holds office, and is open to everyone, with a suggested donation of $20 for the Breast Cancer Foundation.
In January, the topic was “Cancer 101”. This 27 February, it will be “Cancer Prevention.”
According to West Medical Group, cancer is one of the most prevalent illnesses in the world and the most deadly illness in Singapore. Statistics from the Ministry of Health claims it was the cause of 28.5 percent of all deaths in 2006. In 2007, it took the lives of 4,762 Singaporeans.
