Proton Therapy System: preparing for the cancer tsunami to come - Hitachi

Cancer is the leading cause of death in Singapore. In 2015, cancer was the cause of close to 30% of deaths in Singapore. Health experts has warned of a cancer tsunami, where 1-in-3 Singaporeans will get cancer in their lifetime. This has prompted the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) to procure a proton therapy system from Hitachi, which will be housed in the Goh Cheng Liang Proton Therapy Centre in the new NCCS Building, which is scheduled to be completed in 2022. Currently, NCCS sees close to 65% of the country’s public sector oncology cases. http://bit.ly/2rIN8Bb http://bit.ly/2SLbxqv HitachiBrandChannel February 14, 2019 at 01:48AM
