Colorectal Cancer Screening
Colorectal cancer is one of the commonest cancers in Singapore. Over 1000 new cases are diagnosed annually here. As is true with most cancers, early detection of the disease results in improved chances of cure. Colorectal cancer frequently arises from non-cancerous tumours in the colon known as polyps. Over a period of years, these polyps transform into cancer. Detection and removal of polyps can avoid cancer developing. ... (posted by Nobel 1 year 276 days ago.)
