Lung cancer remains one of the top three most common cancers in Malaysia.
Among men, it is one of the leading cancers, with the lifetime risk rising to 1 in 50. 😱

For women, lung cancer is the third most common cancer. Alarmingly, over 75% of lung cancer cases are diagnosed at late stages (Stage 3–4), when treatment options become more limited and outcomes poorer.

We were truly honoured to have the IKN team visit our humble unit last week and engage in meaningful discussions to continue enhancing patient care.

P/S: A special thank you to Dato’ Zaleha, our Pengarah Hospital, and Dr Asmah, our HOD, for their time, support, and commitment in making this collaboration possible. ❤️
