The National University Cancer Institute, Singapore (NCIS) is a national specialist centre for cancer under the National University Health System (NUHS). It is the only comprehensive public cancer centre in Singapore treating both paediatric and adult cancers in one facility. Located at the National University Hospital (NUH), we offer a broad spectrum of cancer care with expertise in prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care. Besides improving the quality of care to cancer patients, the NCIS also trains and nurtures the next generation of healthcare professionals in this field of medicine. Working closely with scientists to advance cancer medicine, the NCIS hopes to translate basic research discoveries in the laboratory to applied research for clinical trials and eventually to better treatments.

As we commence the new year, let's explore 10 micro wellness habits with high returns that we can incorporate into our daily routines for sustained wellbeing.

Adjunct Associate Professor Francis Ho, Head & Senior Consultant of the Department of Radiation Oncology at the National Cancer Institute Singapore (NCIS), recommends incorporating mindfulness exercises into your daily routine. He notes that consistent mindfulness practice can lower stress hormone levels and enhance sleep quality.

A local research team has achieved a significant milestone in precision oncology with CAN-Scan, a revolutionary platform that could transform how we treat colorectal cancer, one of the most prevalent cancers in Singapore and worldwide.

Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, CAN-Scan enables doctors to select treatments based on each patient's unique cancer biology, potentially improving outcomes whilst reducing unnecessary side effects.

This innovation offers hope for better treatment outcomes and improved quality of life for patients facing this disease.

More young Singaporeans are taking charge of their future through Advance Care Planning (ACP). Dr Yee Choon Meng, Head and Senior Consultant, Division of Palliative Care, NCIS explains how these structured conversations ensure patientsโ€™ voices are heard at lifeโ€™s end.

Going beyond resuscitation decisions, ACP explores preferred care settings, acceptable quality of life, emotional concerns, funeral preferences and more.

This approach is incorporated in NCIS and NUHโ€™s appropriate care end-of-life pathway launched in 2024 through the Serious Illness Conversations for cancer patients with less than six months prognosis, ensuring patient-centred decisions that bring peace to all involved.

Want to learn more about the different components of ACP? Read the NUHS Plus articles linked in our bio to discover how these important conversations can bring clarity and peace of mind.

When it comes to breast cancer screening, mammograms are the gold standard.

Dr Andrea Wong, Head & Senior Consultant, Department of Haematology-Oncology, NCIS shared on CNA938 that she recommends annual screenings from age 40-49, due to the difficulty of detecting cancer in denser breast tissue common in this age group, and biennial screenings for those aged 50 and above.

Early detection saves lives. Have you booked your mammogram? If not, do it today! Don't forget to remind the women you care about to prioritise theirs too.
