The National University Cancer Institute, Singapore (NCIS) is a national specialist centre for cancer under the National University Health System (NUHS). It is the only comprehensive public cancer centre in Singapore treating both paediatric and adult cancers in one facility. Located at the National University Hospital (NUH), we offer a broad spectrum of cancer care with expertise in prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care. Besides improving the quality of care to cancer patients, the NCIS also trains and nurtures the next generation of healthcare professionals in this field of medicine. Working closely with scientists to advance cancer medicine, the NCIS hopes to translate basic research discoveries in the laboratory to applied research for clinical trials and eventually to better treatments.

A randomised clinical trial led by Prof Lee Soo Chin, Senior Consultant, NCIS, and her team examined more than 9,000 women in Singapore.

The study found that a simple mailed reminder was just as effective as more complex behavioural interventions in increasing screening uptake.

This isnโ€™t just a saying โ€” itโ€™s evidence.

Prof Lee Soo Chin, Senior Consultant, NCIS and the teamโ€™s study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, reveals how a simple mailed reminder can significantly improve breast cancer screening uptake among overdue women.

A powerful example of how small, thoughtful interventions can make life-changing impact!

The NCIS Wellbeing Centre opened in June 2025 as part of NCIS's comprehensive care mission, providing a dedicated space for patients and caregivers to access community support and practical resources.

According to Ms Aisha Dhewar, Assistant Director for NCIS Community and Cancer Programmes, since its launch, the centre has seen growing participation in survivorship and wellness programmes from both patients and caregivers.

Advanced Practice Nurse Chen Litang emphasised that these programmes address the need to provide essential emotional respite during the emotionally draining recovery process. She also highlighted that while patient support is typically prioritised, caregivers' needs are often overlooked despite facing unique pressures from balancing various responsibilities and emotional burdens.

Whether you're a patient or caregiver, the NCIS Wellbeing Centre welcomes you to join our supportive community and explore our educational workshops, wellness classes, and psychosocial support sessions.
