PETALING JAYA, 23 October 2023: Female breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer in frequency of new cancer diagnosis worldwide in 2020, in Asia alone, that makes up 22.9% of new cases1. In Asia, more women die of breast cancer than the rest of the world combined. Closer to home, one in 20 Malaysian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, resulting in 23 cases each new day2. These statistics should raise a resounding alarm – this is why Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara’s (THKD) Pink October is more than just a calendar year event, it is about bringing a solution to a problem.
Throughout the month, THKD is shining the spotlight on being empowered by knowledge and embraced by hope. Our Pink October initiatives include a Support Group ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ event for cancer survivors, accessible breast screenings and consultation, free breast self-exam tutorial and basic health screening and product giveaways. In advocating for increased education, our thought leaders met with members of media to get the word out on prevention, early detection, and disease management.
