This website seeks to answer some of the common questions about cancer: what cancer is, what treatment is available, what causes cancer, and information on the more common types of cancer, such as lung, colorectal and breast cancer. Information regarding the number of cancer cases in Singapore was obtained from the Singapore Cancer Registry.

For cancers other than those described in this website, please refer to your doctor who will answer your questions taking into account the circumstances, which surround each case, such as the patient's age, general health, and tests performed.

To keep this website current we will revise and update it as more information becomes available. Related websites are also included. If you find new and relevant websites which you find particularly helpful, please email gmoeau@sgh.gov.sg with your suggestions. Unfortunately, we are not able to answer any questions. Thank you.
