Centre for Screening and Surgery (CSS) specialises in screening and detection of cancer in its early stages. When detected early, we can achieve a cure rate of 90% or more for most cancers.

For breast screening, we have high resolution ultrasound machine and in-house Mammotome biopsy equipment to detect and diagnose cancers with minimum delay.

The ultrasound is also used to diagnose thyroid nodules, gallstones or hernias.

For colon and other gastrointestinal cancers, in addition to blood tests for tumour markers, we perform high defintion gastroscopy and colonoscopy to diagnose cancers or to remove polyps.

When surgery is needed, we specialise in the minimally invasive approach which leads to less pain, shorter recovery and better cosmetic results. Our doctor is also trained in the latest surgical technologies such as Robotic Surgery, Single Incision Surgery (SILS) and Natural Orifice Surgery
