Cancers
1 in 4 Malaysians are affected by cancer — we aim to reduce that percentage.
Other Cancer
To date, we have focused primarily on ovarian, breast, and head and neck cancers. We plan to expand work on other cancers.

How we’ve made a difference
  1. Worked with the International Prostate Cancer Association Consortium (PRACTICAL) and the Subang Aging Men’s Study to identify a number of genetic loci associated with increased risk to prostate cancer.
  2. Worked with investigators at the Institute of Cancer Research to show that a blood test screening for prostate cancer is useful for its detection in people with inherited alterations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.
