Homesoy, NCSM join forces to boost breast cancer screening

Ace Canning Corporation and the National Cancer Society Malaysia have partnered for "Stop That Dot Together," an initiative to make breast cancer screening more accessible to lower-income women. The campaign, running from October to December, will provide mobile clinical check-ups and 100 free mammograms in various Malaysian states.

NCSM reports that one in 20 Malaysian women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, with most cases being diagnosed at advanced stages. Homesoy's marketing director, Chang Wan Ping, emphasized that a woman's socio-economic status should not affect her chances of surviving cancer. The campaign also aims to dispel misconceptions about soya consumption and breast cancer, as studies show that higher soya intake may offer a protective effect against the disease.
