Last weekend was the annual Assisi Hospice Dinner, which was graced by the presence of the Dr Ng Eng Hen, Minister of Defence and Mdm Ho Ching, Patron of Assisi Hospice.

In recognition of World Breast Cancer Research Day, we’re shining a light on the importance of research.   With one in eight women diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and accounting for approximately 29% of all cancers diagnosed in females in Singapore, there is a continued need to improve the way we treat this common cancer.   Cancer research plays a crucial part in advancing medications and new treatments, providing new hope and opportunity for breast cancer patients and their families. At Icon we’re proud to offer clinical trials delivering greater access to emerging treatments and contribute to a brighter future.   To learn more about clinical trials for breast cancer at Icon, please visit https://lnkd.in/g-cnRF2g   #breastcancer #cancerresearch #breastcancerresearchday #clinicaltrials #research 

We were delighted to host oncologists and nurses from 175 Military Hospital in Vietnam at Icon Cancer Centre Mount Alvernia and Farrer Park. Our oncologists and care team shared our holistic and multidisciplinary treatment approach and discussed a typical patient's cancer journey at Icon. It was an engaging session where both parties exchanged valuable insights about oncology care in each country, with a shared commitment to providing the best possible patient care and experience.

After our initial visit to Family Hospital in Da Nang last month, Dr Patricia Kho - Senior Consultant, Specialist in Medical Oncology and Medical Director, Icon Cancer Centre at Mt Alvernia - was invited to participate in a multidisciplinary tumour board discussion focusing on breast and lung cancers.  The sessions were engaging and fruitful, with valuable exchanges among specialists and oncologists from Family Hospital, where they delved into treatment plans and evidence-based practices for oncology care. We are delighted to have this opportunity to collaborate and make a meaningful impact on cancer care and we look forward to turning the cancer care dial to better support patients in Da Nang.
