Handbook On Colorectal Diseases
|
 |
The “Handbook on Colorectal Diseases” has just been released as an E-book and available on iBooks and iTunes. It was a labour of love from my colleagues and I to give an overview of noteworthy topics in Colorectal Surgery. We authored this book as a guide to primary care doctors, trainees in General Surgery and medical students to give them a better understanding of the common conditions that afflict our patients. I am proud to have contributed several chapters to the Handbook on Colorectal Diseases. Sharing our knowledge and expertise in Colorectal Surgery is one way for us to give back to Society; by educating fellow and future doctors about these conditions. Many thanks to Fortis Healthcare Singapore for making this a reality. Many thanks to Janssen-Cilag, Singapore and Transmedic, Singapore as well for your sponsorship of the book.

From Our Latest Educational Talks
|
| Colorectal Cancer - Am I at Risk? | | Dr Lim will be speaking in a free admission public forum organized by the Council for 3rd Age. It is aimed at the ageing population. The talk is in Bahasa (26th March 3pm ~ 4pm). The website is http://www.50plussingapore.com.
Talk Synopsis
Colorectal cancer is the Number 1 cancer in Singapore today. Every year, roughly 1000 men and 800 women are diagnosed with colorectal cancer in Singapore. Up to 8% of these are under the age of 50. Of these who were diagnosed, only about 57% of them are curable because many sought treatment at a late stage of disease. However, this is one of the most preventable cancers today and treatment in the earlier stages of colorectal cancer can give more than 80% chance of cure. Come and learn about risk factors for colon cancer and how to reduce your risks. Dr Lim will also share methods of prevention of colon cancer! | | |
