Colorectal Cancer Awareness Run 2024

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in Malaysia. It equally affects both males and females and the number of colorectal cancer cases in Malaysia is increasing, with an alarming rise, even in younger adults. Most of the patients are not aware that they have colorectal cancer as there are serious gaps in awareness on colorectal cancer’s signs and symptoms among the public. Therefore, many patients presented at an advanced stage due to this lack of awareness of the disease.

The MSCRS is a Society of Colorectal Surgeons and one of its aims is to improve the quality of colorectal surgery in Malaysia, and also to create and enhance the public’s awareness on colorectal cancer.

COLORECTAL CANCER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

In conjunction with Colorectal Cancer month which is designated for March every year, the MSCRS has decided to conduct a Colorectal Cancer Awareness Campaign. The objective of this campaign is to raise public’s awareness on colorectal cancer, its symptoms and signs and the importance of early detection via screening. Through this campaign, we aim to encourage the public to adopt a healthy lifestyle and healthy diet as one of the means of colorectal cancer prevention.
As part of this campaign, we are organising a Colorectal Cancer Awareness Run event for the public to encourage healthy lifestyle as well as holding a public forum on early cancer detection and heart health activities.
