Stop Colon Cancer Before It Starts

Why Early Detection Matters

Ics Cancer

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.

Real Stories, Real Hope

"I'm really grateful to Dr Ooi Wei Seong and the staff of ICS for making my weeks at ICS so bearable. They're an excellent team of healthcare professionals who really care for their patients. During my treatment sessions, they always made sure I was comfortable and checked on me frequently.Dr Ooi is an experienced professional who's deeply knowledgeable in his field, but he also has a very warm, approachable and jovial manner that puts one at ease. All of the clinic staff - the nurses (Pearl, Alena, Pushpa, Kartini and Nerina), the clinic administrator (Susie) and the lady who gives me barley water every week - are a warm and wonderful team and never fail to make me smile during every visit.Thank you to the team at ICS for your compassion and support during this challenging time."

"I am grateful to all the ICS nurses and Dr Ooi for the care throughout my chemo journey. It was the worst 5 months of my life because of the cancer but ICS made it better...First thank you for Dr Ooi for being there throughout the journey esp when I had a fever for almost one month due to Taxol induced Pneumonitis, and for the timely intervention to send me for the necessary heart checks, CT scan, etc, to get to the root of the problem. He did not waste a single day to troubleshoot the problem.I also want to thank the nurses who attended to me. Special mention to Kartini who is very gentle and is incredibly skilled in putting in the IV plug and drawing my blood. Seriously if she poke you its as unpainful as it gets already. I also want to thank Alina and Pushpa for diluting my meds and administering them without hiccups too. I hear stories of chemo leaking into tissues but I never had such experience at ICS because the nurses are very experienced. Plus the part-time nurse (so sorry I forgot your name but remember your warm words) for always making sure I'm comfortable with blankets drinks and such. And Susie for the warm greeting every time I come in.Only issue I have is because they are sooo popular and due to covid measures only 4 patients allowed at one time (I think) so scheduling is a headache. The nurses (esp Alina) try their best to schedule everyone. :)And BTW you can watch Netflix and Viu in the clinic (if the TV is available that day) if you have your own account because they have smart TV. This is very important when you are in discomfort during chemo, any distraction helps. The air is very clean because they have air purifiers in every room. Here are some pics. Cheers."

Patient

"I consider myself lucky to be treated by this medical team. Dr Ooi, as always, has been very friendly and patient. He will try his best to give advice to me, other than providing medication, to make me feel better especially during my chemo treatments. The girls are helpful and caring, making sure I am comfortable during the treatments. At times they do brightens up my day considering this is my lowest point of my life. Thank you all of you. I will miss you all."

Patient

"From Day One, Dr Ooi has put me at ease. With his positive and cheerful behaviour. When my tumours returned shortly after surgery, he was still edging me not to give up. Best of all, he was responsive even if you have concerns outside his clinic hours and wanted to talk to him about it.Thank you for making me feel like I was getting the best care. Thank you to all the nurses (past and present- Hangqi, Pearl, Alìna, Kartini, Pushpa) for making me feel safe, as pain free as possible and cared for. I know I haven’t been an easy patient when the needles come out. But the nurses & staff were extremely patient. Thanks to Susie as well.Great job to all!"

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. As such, our patients from all walks of life have been able to comfortably finance their treatments.

Teleconsultation allows you to consult with a cancer specialist remotely via video or phone call. This provides a convenient way to receive expert advice without needing to travel. Our teleconsultation process is secure and follows all privacy and confidentiality standards to protect your personal and medical information.

 

Be at ease as at ICS you never walk alone, let us plan for financing together. Upon your visit to ICS for treatment, we provide free financial counselling to assist you to make an informed choice on finance matters. Our team of nurses with years of experience in handling international, local, and corporate insurance stand ready to assist with any issues with the financing of your treatment that you may have.
