Introduction-
Cancer is a life-threatening disease that occurs when body cells act abnormally and start developing rapidly and spread to other normal tissues of the body. Cancer is generally caused due to changes in the DNA. Due to the extra production of cancer cells, they form as small cysts but are harmful, slowly pushing or overlapping different body organs, making them a force to malfunction. This is ultimately a genetic disease. If someone in the family has cancer, the other family members are more likely to get infected. This article will discuss the best centers in Singapore where cancer clinical trials are conducted as of 2022.
Severe symptoms of cancer-
- Sudden rapid immense weight loss- if there is no change in the person’s lifestyle, you will not lose weight but remain the same as before. But this case is different when you are infected with cancer as, without a change in your eating habit or lifestyle, you still lose pounds of weight all of a sudden.
- Fever- fever occurs suddenly to a person if cancer has spread to the other parts of the person’s body. The fever usually comes mostly during nighttime when the patient might experience cold sweats.
- Fatigue- patients infected with cancer usually feel tired and restless. Even though they have had enough sleep, they feel that they have not slept for days and always feel that their arms and legs have no energy.
The cancer clinical trial centers are-
- National University Cancer Institute– is situated in a medical center in Singapore. This center is the principal agency of the Singapore government, where they carry out diagnoses and treatments for cancer—established in 1937. Based on the eligibility criteria, the trial participants are selected.
- National Cancer Centre- situated in Singapore. In this institute, cancer clinical treatments are done in three phases. In the first phase on 20-100 people, the second phase on less than 200 people, and the third phase on 200-1000 patients. The trials are done on more than five medications as created in the laboratories of the cancer center. If ordinary people want to participate in the trials, they undergo a series of pre-screening.
- Icon cancer center, Singapore- this is the Singapore branch of Australia’s cancer center. Here clinical trials take place in four phases where they check whether the drug is safe, whether it works, etc.
Conclusion-
These are the places where clinical trials are available in Singapore.
