A special shout out to Dr Siong Hing and Team for all your hard work in organising this event. It was a great privilege to be part of this event. Thank you for the opportunity!
In conjuction with 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮 held last weekend 23- 25 Aug 2024 in Kuala Lumpur, AARO’s Dr David Tan and Dr Daniel Tan had the opportunity to deliver 2 presentations. It was a great opportunity to learn, and also reconnect with colleagues and meet new ones.
Dr. David Tan gave a talk at the Elekta Users Meeting to 100 regional and international attendees. He shared about the 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 (𝐒𝐁𝐑𝐓) 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 at the Centre for Stereotactic Radiosurgery (CSR) over the past 5 years and how through a diligent, evidence-based and multi-disciplinary approach, AARO has pushed the boundaries in Liver SBRT and achieved excellent local control and survival outcomes in patients with challenging and complex conditions who would otherwise had no other options for treatment
Dr Daniel Tan, along with a distinguished panel including Dr. John Christodouleas and Prof. Jun Won Kim, spoke on ‘𝐀 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭’
Prof. Kim showcased his experience with the Unity MRI Linac, with over 1,000 cases treated and Dr. Christodouleas gave an insight into the future of AI-driven radiation oncology.
These are indeed exciting times for our field. AARO is very proud and privileged to be at the forefront of these developments.
Diagnosed with Stage 2 Prostate Cancer in Indonesia, Pak Tjugito Naslim, who has polio, was offered surgery to treat his condition. However, his family was concerned if he could tolerate general anesthesia, and Pak was also worried that the invasive procedure could cause side effects like incontinence and impotence. So, he started to look for alternative treatments.
His search led him to Asian Alliance Radiation and Oncology (AARO) in Singapore, which offered him SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy) - an established non-surgical curative option for prostate cancer.

After discovering a lump in her breast, Julie was shocked to see "likely late stage breast cancer" on her medical form. Despite her initial fears and painful memories of relatives with cancer, she bravely chose to proceed with treatment and faced her fears head-on.
For early breast cancer, recent studies have shown that Breast Conserving Therapy is associated with an equal, if not better, impact on survival than mastectomy. Links 🔗 to these articles are provided here ⬇️:

Coment
Please be updated that all insurance coverage (includes existing policies) for outpatient cancer treatment has been substantially controlled by the Ministry of Health with effect from 01 April 2023, though final decision on cancer coverage still lies on insurance companies. This significant reduction in coverage affects existing cancer patients as well.
Please check through your existing insurance to ensure that you are still adequately covered for future unforeseen medical expenses relating to cancer as the revised coverage (even the highest tier) frm certain insurance companies may only be fairly sufficient for outpatient cancer treatment in Govt hospital.
From my understanding, essential terms relating to this revised coverage:
Cancer Drug Treatment >> Relates only to oncology medication on CDL
Cancer Drug Services >> Relates to supporting medication, consultation, blood tests, scans, treatment preparation & admin charges etc,
Generally, covers all other outpatient cancer treatment costs with the exclusion of oncology medication.
Non-CDL Treatment >> This coverage does not cover all regular cancer treatment expenses.
Ie. If your recommended cancer treatment fails and you need to try for alternate cancer treatment, this category of coverage will then be applicable to you. Hence, this category of coverage is basically “NA” for most outpatient cancer treatments.
Please clarify with your insurance agents on this revised coverage to ensure you are adequately insured.
