While testicular cancer accounts for only about 1–2% of all male cancers, it’s actually one of the most common cancers among young men. 🚹 That’s why it’s so important to know how to lower your risk. One simple yet powerful way is through regular self-examination. 🔍 Detecting any changes in size or unusual lumps early can make a big difference in treatment and recovery. Men are encouraged to perform monthly self-checks to stay aware of their health.

🔬 A recent study led by Dr Tira Tan and Dr Han Yi Lee from the National Cancer Centre Singapore compared reduced vs full doses of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) for metastatic breast cancer patients. Results showed no major differences in treatment effectiveness and progression-free survival between groups, supporting personalised dosing strategies. This important study was made possible thanks to patients who shared their data for research purposes 🙏

Did you know that many cancers have no symptoms until they're late-stage?

Cancer detected early is easier to treat, improving chances for survival and cure. But cancer screening uptake in Singapore is below 40%!

To help with early detection, Singapore offers 3 national screening programmes for breast, colorectal and cervical cancers. More here: https://www.nccs.com.sg/about-nccs/news/publications/in-good-health/issue-14/screening-could-save-your-life

November is Prostate and Testicular Cancers Awareness Month! 💙 Let’s take some time to learn more about these two cancers — starting with prostate cancer today.

Prostate cancer often develops silently, with no symptoms in its early stages. Since most prostate cancers grow slowly, many men reach old age or pass on without knowing that they have prostate cancer. However, some may experience signs such as a burning sensation or pain during urination.
