On June 17, 2023, Sunway University in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, hosted an enlightening forum on colorectal cancer, shedding light on the immense potential for early detection in this domain.

Prof Dr Raja Affendi Raja Ali, Dean of the School of Medical & Life Sciences at Sunway University, emphasised the significance of early detection. He remarked, “Colorectal cancer offers immense potential for early detection. When we identify it at its nascent stage, the probability of successful treatment increases significantly.”

The forum underscored the pivotal role of screening in the fight against colorectal cancer. As Prof Dr Raja Affendi Raja Ali pointed out, "Screening, the cornerstone of this battle, is an effective approach that can detect precancerous polyps and early-stage cancers.”

Let's spread the word and raise awareness about the importance of early detection and screening. Together, we can make strides in the battle against colorectal cancer.
