Dealing With A Lung Cancer Diagnosis
Manage episode 431833138 series 3070941
Lung cancer is the third most common cancer overall in Malaysia - impacting men and women almost comparably. Alarmingly, the latest National Cancer Registry Report (2017-2021) revealed that more than 94% of men and women with lung cancer were diagnosed at the late stages (Stage 3 & 4). Many patients and their family members will be at a loss when they receive a diagnosis of lung cancer. We get consultant oncologist Dr Tho Lye Mun and consultant in palliative medicine Dr Lam Chee Loong, to share about the treatment options and coping with lung cancer following a diagnosis.
