Globally, cancer is the second most important cause of death and it was responsible for 8.8 million deaths in 2015.

癌症是全球导致死亡的第二大原因。它在2015年造成880万人死亡。

The latest Malaysian National Cancer Registry Report 2007 to 2011 found that there was a total of 64,275 medically certified and non-medically certified cancer deaths.

在最新的马来西亚国家癌症登记处,从2007至2011年的报告发现,共有64,275名经过医学认证和非医学认证的癌症死亡人数。

In the year 2000, cancer contributed to 9.3% of all deaths at the Ministry of Health (MOH) hospitals. By 2016, this had increased to 26.7%, while 13.6% of all deaths in government hospitals were attributed to cancer.

2000年,癌症导致9.3%的死亡是发生在卫生部(MOH)医院。直到2016年,这个数字增加到26.7%,而政府医院的所有死亡人数中,有13.6%是因为癌症。

Ministry of Health (MOH) spent around RM 400 million to treat cancer annually. This amount is much higher compared to treating patient with non-communicable diseases. Based on ASEAN Costs in Oncology ACTION study, conducted by George Institute for Global Health, they found that 45 % of cancer patient in Malaysia are facing financial conflicts as the treatment of cancer will cost them 30% of their household income. It is true that the technology and development of cancer treatment is advancing but it also results in higher cost of cancer cure.

卫生部(MOH)每年花费大约4亿令吉来治疗癌症。这个数目与治疗非传染性疾病来得要高。根据George Institute for Global Health所进行的东盟成本肿瘤学ACTION研究显示,马来西亚有45%的癌症患者正面临经济冲突, 因为癌症的治疗费用是他们收入的30%。癌症治疗的技术和发展确实正在推进,但是它也导致更高的癌症治愈成本。

Preventive health screening is important to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment and improve quality of life. To control the increase in cancer burden, focus is given in improving the screening of early detection and to increase access to patient care. Most cancer patients were diagnosed in later stages, hence increasing the cost of treatment. Prevention and early detection is very helpful as an illness which picked up in earlier stages, is after all, far easier to cure.

预防性健康检查对早期诊断和治疗以及改善生活质量是非常重要的。与其控制癌症治疗的负担,倒不如注重于提升大众对早期检验的醒觉及增加患者的护理。大多数癌症患者都是在后期被诊断出来的,因而增加治疗费用。预防及早期发现对癌症是非常有帮助的,因为早期发现的疾病更容易被治愈。

Various programmes have been implemented by government to reduce cancer risk among Malaysian, such as administration of Human Papilloma (HPV) vaccine to teenage girl to prevent cervical cancer. Other than that, frequent health screening is a must-do to know our current health status. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Malaysian women. Preventive measure that can be take is to do regular check-up. Breast self-examinations (BSE), clinical breast examinations (by a trained doctor or health care professional) and screening mammography are therefore important in detecting breast cancer at an early stage.

政府已经实施了各种方案来降低马来西亚公民的患癌风险,如提供13岁少女接种人乳头状瘤(HPV)疫苗以预防宫颈癌。除此之外,定期的健康检查让我们更能够了解自己目前的身体状况。乳腺癌是马来西亚妇女中最常见的癌症。定期检查乳房是可以采取的预防措施。因此,乳房自我检查(BSE),临床乳房检查(由培训过的医生或医疗保健专业人员)和乳房X光检查对早期检测乳腺癌是非常重要的。

Colorectal cancer is one of the leading cancer in Malaysia. The National Cancer Registry’s latest report dubbed colorectal cancer as the most common cancer among men and the third most common among women in Malaysia. Early cancer may have no outward symptoms. Therefore, regular screening is crucial. Colonoscopy and faecal occult blood test (FOBT) are important in detecting colorectal cancer.

结直肠癌是马来西亚主要的癌症之一。国家癌症登记处的最新报告称,结直肠癌是男性中最常见的癌症,也是马来西亚女性中第三大常见癌症。早期癌症可能没有外在的症状。因此,定期筛查至关重要。结肠镜检查和粪便潜血试验(FOBT)在检测结直肠癌中扮演者重要的角色。
