倡导计划
当您需要我们的时候,我们总是在您身边
我们的病人倡导计划旨在赋予癌症患者权利,特别是穷人,以尊重,舒适和关怀的方式获得他们应得的医疗保健,信息和治疗,以帮助缓解他们所遭受的痛苦。我们理解癌症患者面对许多恐惧和担忧,在这样动荡不安的时期,可能难以区分事实和谬误。不是每个人都有能力承担挽救生命必要的癌症治疗,这些治疗可能是非常昂贵的,并且是不幸的人士力所不及的。
因着迫切拯救生命的使命,预防癌症以及为马来西亚被癌症折磨的穷苦病人服务,肿瘤科医疗顾问Dr. Christina Ng在2009年成立了EMPOWERED – 马来西亚癌症倡导协会。
EMPOWERED是一个注册为协会的非盈利组织,并已获得马来西亚税务局(IRB)的免税待遇。
在进行非常可怕的癌症诊断之后,患者及其家属也渡过了情感上非常痛苦的时期。对患者及其照顾者来说,这可能是一个困惑的时期,他们试图接受诊断、并试图在令人生畏的医学术语中理解整个情况、来自善意的人相互矛盾的建议、基于对所发生的事情了解甚少的情况下,必须作出非常困难的医疗决定,这可能意味着患者的生与死之别。
因此,EMPOWERED被成立并由一组充满激情的专业团队介入帮忙,以弥合差距,并从醒觉到筛选再到治疗,积极地解决癌症病情;帮助癌症患者,特别是穷人,及时获得救命的医疗和咨询服务,并向他们保证,患上癌症并不一定是死刑。
早期发现是我们在癌症方面的第一道防线
预防癌症的第一道防线是通过定期筛查来早期发现。研究显示,影响男性的最常见的癌症是结肠直肠癌,也是马来西亚影响女性的第二大常见癌症。定期筛查和早期发现对于病患的成功康复至关重要。在2010年四月,EMPOWERED的结肠直肠癌筛查项目获得了卫生部医学研究伦理委员会的批准。
与此同时,肺癌在男性和女性中均被列为癌症的五大起因之一,死亡率居世界前列。尽管肺癌仍无法治愈,但早期的诊断和治疗为患者提供了更高的生存机会。在我们抗癌的斗争中,我们的社区活动一直集中在对弱势群体的定期筛查上。通过私营部门,企业和公众的资助,我们通过与政府部门,医院和诊所的紧密合作,在接触大量资源贫乏的社区,已经成功地取得了重大意义的里程碑。
自2009年成立以来,我们完成了以下社区项目:
非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)
2010年乳腺癌及肺癌醒觉运动(班底谷LEMBAH PANTAI)
2011年结肠直肠癌筛查和治疗社区项目(鹅唛GOMBAK和士拉央SELAYANG)
2011年&2012年结肠直肠癌醒觉,筛选和治疗社区项目(文良港SETAPAK)
2012年结肠直肠癌筛查及治疗社区项目(梳邦谷LEMBAH SUBANG)
2014年结肠直肠癌醒觉,筛选和治疗社区项目(蕉賴CHERAS)
2015年结肠直肠癌醒觉,筛选和治疗项目(安邦下游HILIRAN AMPANG)
2016年结肠直肠癌醒觉,筛选和治疗项目(迪沙敦拉萨DESA TUN RAZAK)
为您多走一里路
我们为患者及其家属任劳任怨,包括提供交通去医院、医疗中心或诊所,并为每位患者提供个性化的支援,因为每位患者的情况都是独特的。癌症的影响可以是毁灭性的,不仅在生理上,而且在情感上极度消耗。我们在患者的治疗和康复过程中陪伴他们,作为他们的朋友和同伴,为他们提供咨询,安慰和鼓励,因为他们当中的一些人可能被这些情况逼到绝望的边缘。
当他们的身体接受治疗时,我们通过与他们分享有效的应对策略和运动来试图抚慰他们的心灵。在这样的时段,EMPOWERED为他们提供了全人治疗和康复的希望。
因为生存在战斗中。我们所有人都需要英雄
我们的癌症幸存者是我们与癌症抗争并赢得胜利的英雄。我们与他们配合以分享他们的见证,激励那些正在接受癌症治疗的病人,鼓励他们不要放弃希望,而是要继续打好这场战争。盼望对心灵和治疗过程至关重要。
您是我们所做的事情的核心
因为每个人都不一样,我们定制和提供个性化的服务,专门迎合患者的独特需求。我们重点关注与社区项目相关的工作以接触弱势社区,并鼓励更多人参与我们的癌症醒觉和筛查工作坊。我们与医院,医疗诊所和癌症患者紧密合作,确保患者服从必要的治疗以战胜病魔。
通过我的日志(My Journal)归还您的健康拥有权
在某些情况下,许多癌症患者都觉得对自己的健康失去了控制。通过负起简单的责任来组织和存档自己的病历,并遵照他们的医生的指定,病人将开始感到一丝希望以及重新获得对掌控自己生命的一些表象。
Dr. Christina Ng的心血结晶“我的日志”是她由心而发的著作,特写有关癌症病情、医疗、副作用,对病患和其照顾者生活上的影响的信息,并备忘记事本(filofax)中的操作单使患者能够组织他们的治疗日记,医生的预约和处方药物清单,并将他们的体格检查报告系统地归档在一个地方。“我的日志”由副卫生部长拿督Rosnah Rashid Shirlin于2011年2月发起。
“我的日志”第二版已经以四种语言发行。通过“我的日志”活动,它已经免费分发给有癌症监护单位的政府医院里的数千名癌症患者,除了帮助他们组织他们的治疗和药物记录之外,其目标是让患者对拥有自己的健康的感觉归还给他们。
EXCELLENT Based on 143 reviews Posted on LowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer more than 8 years ago. I had treatment but unfortunately my cancer relapsed. I then had surgery and continued with treatment. About 3 months ago, my PET scan showed that the cancer has spread to my chestwall. That's when I decided to seek another opinion and found Dr Christina Ng who is practising at Onco Life Centre. Dr Ng analysed my past treatments and the genomic reports that have been done in other hospitals. She explained to me that she will put me on an oral targeted drug in combination with an oral hormonal therapy. Just 4 months under the care of Dr Christina, I did another PET scan. Thankfully, the results are very good. The cancer that has spread to my chestwall has now reduced in size and the disease is not found anywhere else.Posted on Cc LimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer about 10 months ago. The cancer was extensive in her abdomen with bowel loops trapped in an omental cake causing bowel obstruction. The cancer had also spread to liver, peritoneum and lymph nodes. She was very ill. She was vomiting up food she ate. She had lost so much weight. About 4 months ago, we decided to go under the care of Dr Christina Ng at Onco Life Centre. Dr Christina promptly started my wife on a combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy. My wife was also started on TPN by Dr Christina as she unable to sufficiently consume diet. My wife’s cancer symptoms progressively improved as she underwent treatment. After 6 cycles of treatment, the CT scan miraculously showed a full and complete resolution of all tumours in pancreas, liver, peritoneum, omentum & nodes! We are very grateful to Dr Christina Ng and her excellent team for this excellent results. We are thankful for this second lease of life.Posted on Siok Peng (S.) TiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer more than 1.5 years ago in Melaka. She then had surgery and it was confirmed as Stage 3 ovarian cancer. So we followed Dr's advice but unfortunately 9 months ago, she did a PET scan in Melaka and the cancer has spread. That's when we were referred to see Dr Christina Ng at Onco Life Centre in KL. After discussion with Dr Christina, my mother was started on a combination of targeted therapy and chemotherapy. Dr Christina is very detailed and careful, acting fast on any new symptoms to prevent the condition from worsening. Last month my mother did another PET scan, this time we were relieved that cancers that have spread to her peritoneal are now resolved. We are thankful to have followed Dr Christina Ng's advice on her treatment option.Posted on honkeun chongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dad is a stage 4 colon cancer survivor for more than 8 years. After he had his surgery, Dr Christina Ng treated him with immunotherapy at Onco Life Centre and thankfully, he has been in remission for at least the past 6 years now. He is currently not on any medication and only doing regular scans and blood test for observation.Posted on Yee Wen LowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My grandma has early stage triple positive breast cancer. After initial surgery in Penang, we decided for her to be under the care of oncologist Dr Christina Ng at Onco Life Centre. Due to her age of 76, our family was not keen for chemotherapy. Based on my grandma's cancer profile, Dr Christina started her on 2 targeted therapies & hormonal therapy after thoroughly explaining all therapy options. We are grateful that she is tolerating the treatment very well & enjoying a good quality of life.Posted on Shirley CheongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a breast cancer survivor for about 9 years already, all this while under the care of Dr Christina Ng at Onco Life Centre. Initially I underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I have been very well in recent years and currently I am on oral targeted therapy and hormone therapy. My most recent 2 PET scans have shown that I am in remission.Posted on Yeo EanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer 5 years ago in 2020. My cancer has been extremely well controlled on one tablet & an injection every 3 months prescribed by Dr Christina Ng at Onco Life Centre. I feel very well. My scans have all shown that my cancer is in full & complete remission since starting on the medication. I am able to carry on my life with normal activities, albeit at a slower pace because of aging (am now 70). Dated Nov 2025.Posted on LauTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer in November 2024 at a private hospital in Kuala Lumpur. I chose to pursue a second opinion and treatment at the Onco Life Centre. From the first visit, Dr. Christina explained my condition and options with clarity and compassion, which made me feel confident. Dr. Christina arranged for my cancer specimen to be sent overseas for genomic tumor profiling, so that my treatment could be tailored specifically to my cancer type. She promptly started me on a carefully designed combination of immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and chemotherapy which I’ve tolerated remarkably well with minimal side effects. Dr. Christina’s attentive care and use of advanced cancer treatments have given me renewed hope and courage to overcome this disease. I thank God for Dr. Christina, and to her dedicated, caring team, who always respond quickly to my concerns and make me feel truly supported throughout my recovery journey. I’m currently on targeted medication for non-small cell lung cancer, and I am grateful that my recent tests show that my cancer marker levels have dropped to single digits. As a result, I have regained a good quality of life comparable to before my diagnosis.Posted on Shuen YueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
