FYI
At NCI there are 2 clinical trials for cancer patients who are at stage 3 or 4 of cancer. The clinical trials are for patients that need active treatment and best of all is that the cost of treatment is fully paid by the pharmaceutical companies that is sponsoring the clinical trial, i.e. is free. Of course the patient needs to meet certain criteria set by the protocol as required by law in order to enter such clinical trials.
The clinical trials that are going on now are for: -
1. Breast Cancer
2. Lung Cancer
2. Lung Cancer
In Malaysia, NCI Cancer Hospital (formerly known as Nilai Cancer Institute) is the pioneer private specialist center in Malaysia specializing in both cancer treatment and clinical research. NCICH comply with the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and is an ISO accredited hospital since 2002.
NCICH provides a warm, personal and caring environment because it is staffed with friendly and dedicated professionals. At NCICH, we understand the needs of our patients, and their family members, and aim to provide high quality medical care with a personal touch.
NCICH is recognised internationally as a centre for conducting randomised clinical trials by multinational pharmaceutical companies.
The Trilogy System at NCI Cancer Hospital opens a new chapter in the radiation therapy success story of increasing cancer survival rates. As rapidly improving diagnostic techniques detect cancers earlier, Trilogy makes radiation therapy viable at earlier stages and for more types of disease. Optimized for delivering higher doses to smaller areas over shorter time periods, the Trilogy system represents significant progress toward turning cancer from a terminal disease into a chronic, manageable condition.
