At the National Insurance & Takaful Claims Society (NICS) Workshop, Treatment to Prevention: Managing Health Risks and Medical Costs, Dr. Tho Lye Mun, Head of Oncology at Beacon Hospital, shared insights into the evolving landscape of cancer treatment and the growing importance of personalised care.
The session explored how cancer treatment can be tailored to individual patients based on their specific condition and treatment needs. Key approaches discussed included personalised treatment strategies, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and oral chemotherapy.
Advances in cancer care are providing patients with more treatment options while enabling doctors to make more individualised treatment decisions. By tailoring treatment to each patient, these approaches aim to support better treatment outcomes while delivering more patient-centred care.
