Siri EduPost kali ini menerangkan bahawa peningkatan berat badan selepas berhenti merokok boleh berlaku apabila nikotin tidak lagi bertindak sebagai penekan selera makan, di samping penurunan kadar metabolisme badan.

Menurut laporan Malaysia National Cancer Registry Report (MNCRR) 2017–2021 oleh National Cancer Institute Malaysia, pemantauan kesihatan secara menyeluruh amat penting kerana sesetengah individu cenderung makan berlebihan untuk mengatasi keinginan terhadap nikotin.

Bagi mengawal berat badan, amalkan gaya hidup aktif dengan sekurang-kurangnya 150 minit senaman seminggu serta ikuti konsep Pinggan Sihat Malaysia. Pastikan pengambilan air mencukupi dan pilih snek yang lebih sihat agar perjalanan berhenti merokok anda kekal konsisten tanpa menjejaskan kesihatan.

Why is ovarian cancer often diagnosed at a later stage compared to other cancers? 🎗️

In this reel, Dr. Michael Lim Chung Keat, Consultant Gynaecologist & Gynae-Oncologist with Hospital Picaso, explains why ovarian cancer can be difficult to detect early and why routine screening is not commonly recommended for low-risk individuals.

Key points women should know about ovarian cancer:

📌The ovaries are small and located deep within the pelvis

📌Tumours may grow considerably larger before symptoms become noticeable

📌Many ovarian cysts are benign (non-cancerous tumor) rather than malignant (cancerous cells)

Awareness and understanding the realities of ovarian cancer detection can support informed healthcare decisions and earlier medical attention.

Watch, learn, and share this with the women in your life. 💙

The Malaysia National Cancer Registry Report 2012–2016 reports that the majority of lung cancer cases in the country are diagnosed only at Stages 3 and 4.

To raise awareness on lung health and address the growing challenge of late-stage lung cancer detection, the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM) is supporting the IHH-KKM-PDRM LungShield Programme to screen 10,000 Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) officers.

The LungShield Programme utilises the NCSM LungShield — an Integrated Lung Cancer Screening and Diagnosis Kit that enables patients to undergo AI-assisted chest X-ray screening for early detection of lung abnormalities. NCSM LungShield also includes LungLife, a complementary lung cancer insurance policy provided by MCIS Insurance Berhad through a trusted collaboration with the National Cancer Society Malaysia.

This initiative aims to safeguard the well-being of police officers who work tirelessly day and night in service of the nation, while also addressing the long-term impact of air pollution and occupational exposure on lung health.
