The National Cancer Centre
Singapore (NCCS) is a national and regional centre directed at the prevention
and treatment of different cancers, including thoracic, hepatobiliary,
pancreatic, head and neck cancers. It sees over 50% of cancer cases in
Singapore.
As a one-stop specialist centre housing Singapore's largest
pool of oncologists, it has state-of-the-art equipment and employs the latest
therapies including mini transplants and targeted therapies which maximise
outcomes and minimise undesirable side effects.
Physically and
operationally designed to provide integrated and holistic patient-centred
clinical services, it allows cross-consultation among oncologists of different
specialties. Patients can therefore be assessed by more than one specialist
during the same visit. NCCS also conducts clinical and basic research and
develops public cancer education programmes wholly directed at the prevention
and treatment of cancer.
