This year’s Philippine National Cancer Summit brought together a diverse range of stakeholders from the national and international cancer communities to address critical challenges under the theme “Advancing Integrated Cancer Care Systems for the Filipino.”
Fr. Orbos said he was surprised when he was diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer in 2018 because he didn’t have a family history of the disease. He learned about his cancer through a vehicular accident. Had he not been in that accident, his cancer would have remained unknown to him. “An accident made me go for a checkup. In a way, that accident made it possible for my lung cancer to be detected early,” said Orbos.
Treatment for lung cancer depends on several factors. These include what type of lung cancer a patient has, how big it is and whether it has spread . It is also important to note that two people may have the same type of cancer, but no two people respond to treatment exactly alike. For lung cancer, precision medicine is changing the game.
Addressing funding: There maybe options available for your tests to be subsidized upon consultation with the doctor.
