About Cancer

According to the Hong Kong Cancer Registry, approximately 100 new cases are diagnosed daily in HK.

  • What is Cancer?
  • Common Types & Symptoms
  • Other Warning Signs

Cancer occurs when abnormal cells divide uncontrollably, disrupting the body's balance. Doctors use staging (Stage I-IV) to map the disease's extent—including tumour size and spread—to determine the best treatment strategy.

  • Lung Cancer: Persistent cough, blood in sputum, shortness of breath, chest pain, hoarseness.
  • Colorectal Cancer: Change in bowel habits, blood/mucus in stool, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss.
  • Breast Cancer: Lump in breast/underarm, skin dimpling, abnormal discharge.
  • Liver Cancer: Persistent upper-right abdominal pain, jaundice, fatigue, loss of appetite.
  • Prostate Cancer: Difficulty urinating, frequent urination, blood in urine, pelvic pain.
  • Non-healing sores
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Unusual bleeding

These symptoms often compound, significantly impacting the daily lives of patients and their families.

Who is Suitable for Cancer Care?

We understand that every cancer journey is unique—whether it involves respiratory support for lung cancer, stoma care for colorectal cancer, or lymphoedema management for breast cancer. We have developed a "3-Stage Care Model" to support you through every phase:

  • Treatment Maintenance Phase

    Designed for patients in early to mid-stages. You can receive Targeted Therapy and medical support at home, ensuring comfort while staying close to your loved ones.

  • Acute Symptom Phase

    For patients with progressing conditions. Our nurses closely monitor for severe infections, pain, or complications, providing a safety net to prevent panic and avoid unnecessary hospital trips.

  • Palliative & End-of-life Phase

    For end-of-life care. Patients can pass with dignity in their familiar home environment, while we provide grief counselling to support the family.
