Did you know that colorectal cancer is the second most common type of cancer in Malaysia – after breast cancer? That’s according to data from the Malaysian Oncological Society. In addition, cancer of the pancreas and liver, both also part of the gastrointestinal system, rank within the top 10 of death-causing cancers in the country.
Thankfully, awareness and early intervention makes a world of difference in terms of recovery rate and your quality of life. With such high incidence of gastrointestinal cancers among us, it is crucial that we arm ourselves with primary knowledge about detection, treatment, and preventive measures.
