Early detection can make all the difference in lung cancer survival. From now until 30 November 2025, Beacon Hospital in PJ is offering low-dose CT (LDCT) scans — the gold standard for lung screening, at just RM309 (usual price RM600). Book through Beacon’s enquiries team at +6012-328 6913 or online via their e-shop. A free teleconsultation is included if results are abnormal.
LDCT can detect lung cancer at stage one, when cure rates are as high as 90%. By stage four, survival drops to just 5–20% — and treatment costs soar from RM150,000 to RM300,000 a year, especially with targeted therapies or immunotherapy. In contrast, early surgery may cost only RM5,000–RM30,000.
This campaign, in partnership with KALSIS, aims to break cost barriers and make screening more accessible. KALSIS — an innovative financing scheme helping seniors unlock home equity for health and retirement — also supports preventive care. Its founder Jonathan Teoh said: “It’s better to spend a few hundred ringgit on screening now than thousands later on treatment.”
“By making advanced screening such as LDCT affordable, we’re giving people a fair chance for more healthy years,” added Beacon CEO Hoe Cheah How.
👉 Don’t wait — schedule your LDCT today and take charge of your lung health.
