Undergoing treatment for cancer is surely one of life’s most challenging trials and Dr Nethia Mohana Kumaran is focused on alleviating patients’ sufferings and improving their quality of life. The Ipoh-born scientist recently won the 11th L’Oreal-UNESCO For Women in Science (Malaysia) fellowship for her research to develop customised treatments for nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC), a type of head and neck cancer.
NPC is a cancer that starts in the nasopharynx, the upper part of the throat behind the nose and near the base of the skull.
