Did You Know?
Cancer is among the leading diseases and causes of death in the Philippines and worldwide.
Data from the Philippine Cancer Society show cancer is the third leading mortality cause among Filipinos, topped by lung and breast cancers in Filipino men and women. These malignancies are on the rise in prevalence, and estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO) on new cancer cases offer a not-so-encouraging picture: They are expected to increase over the next two decades by as much as 50% to 70% mainly due to progressively complicated lifestyles.
Fortunately, there’s hope. Significant advances in cancer treatment are taking centerstage. Aside from standard chemotherapy, new treatment modalities like targeted or biologic therapy as well as immunologic therapy offer cancer patients new options.
