PETALING JAYA: Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in Malaysia with one in 19 women at risk but the lack of real-time data on cases and mortality numbers has become a challenge in staging interventions, says the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM).
The NCSM has initiatives in the pipeline which includes a registry to track the numbers as well as make screenings more accessible through a national breast cancer directory which provides information on screening and treatment centres at the district level, said its managing director Prof Dr Murallitharan Munisamy (pic).
