Information and support for metastatic breast cancer patients in Malaysia

Context
According to the Malaysian National Cancer Registry Report 2012-2016, 47.9% of breast cancer cases in Malaysia were detected at stages III and IV.[1] In Malaysia, there are few programmes tailored to the needs of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients and according to the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM) there is a general lack of knowledge about MBC in the local community. In order to raise awareness about the disease and to develop resources that are specific for these patients, NCSM has created a webpage specifically dedicated to MBC patients on their website.
NCSM provides clinical services, as well as education and support to people affected by cancer in Malaysia. It supports patients and caregivers throughout their cancer journey in order that cancer patients can attain the highest possible quality of life.
