KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 18 (Bernama) — Lung Cancer Network Malaysia (LCNM) and the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM), supported by Pfizer, announced the launch of Malaysia’s first-ever digital lung cancer patient guide to empower society with the knowledge to recognise early warning signs and symptoms, understand indications for screening, make informed choices, as well as counter stigma and misconceptions about the disease and its treatments.
Launched in conjunction with Lung Cancer Awareness Month in November, the patient guide was developed in English, Malay, and Mandarin as a digital resource to improve health literacy on lung cancer as well as to facilitate better communication between patients and their healthcare providers.
