Stop Colon Cancer Before It Starts
Why Early Detection Matters
Did You Know?
If colon cancer is found early, the chance of surviving for five years is 90%.(1)
Recording nearly 2000 cases every year(2), colon cancer is one of the most common cancer types in Singapore. There is also a concerning rise in the number of colon cancer cases detected among young people in their 20s and 30s(3). This increasing trend has led the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) to lower the recommended starting age for colon cancer screening (4)from 50 to 45.
The good news? Early detection is the most powerful tool in the fight against colon cancer. When caught early, treatments can:
Improve effectiveness and outcomes
Reduce the need for invasive procedures
Minimize side effects and complications
Increase survival rates and quality of life
Who Should Get a Colon Cancer Screening?
Colon cancer may not show any symptoms in its early stages. It may also display signs that can be confused for other, less serious conditions. That’s why getting screened is so important, especially if any of the following(5) apply to you:
You are aged 45 or older
You have a personal or family history of polyps
You have a personal or family history of colorectal cancer
You have a history of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
At ICS, we offer a full colon cancer screening(6), including a colonoscopy, blood tests, and more. This helps with early detection, accurate diagnosis, and gives you peace of mind.

Certain insurance plans cover health screening costs. Get in touch with us to find out more about your particular plan’s coverage.
Our medical specialists regularly provide friendly second opinions to patients who have been diagnosed with cancer, including patients from restructured hospitals as well as private specialists.
After the first consultation, the number of treatment sessions we would recommend you to attend will differ based on your individual case and needs. We would assess your current condition during the treatment and compare it to the last time you visited us.
If you are recovering, the appointment sessions may be more staggered. However, should an unexpected turn happen during the period between the two appointments, we may increase the frequency of the appointments.
A second opinion for a cancer diagnosis can help you understand your different treatment options. This is especially crucial if you have a rare type of cancer, or if treatment options are limited in your country.
Even if standard treatment protocols exist for a particular type of cancer at a specific stage, there can be a variation in treatment, depending on the individual and their medical history.
Different doctors will likely have their own set of approaches to treating cancer, such as the type of treatment, the treatment schedule, or the supportive therapies provided.
Kindly bring your latest medical reports, scan images, and any relevant test results. Due to safe distancing measures in place, only one accompanying person is allowed per patient.
Unknown to many, private cancer treatment may actually be within reach for many of us. Over the past 15 years, International Cancer Specialists has been helping our patients process their treatment claims from multiple insurance companies in Singapore and around the world.
