 Cancer Screening Programme
Cancer Screening Programme is one of Blue Cross
Health Care Options series of programmes designed
to provide members with professional cancer
screening services. Cancer among all other diseases
has been the number one killer in Hong Kong since
the 1960s. One in three deaths in Hong Kong is due
to cancer. The best way to protect yourself against
cancer is to have a healthy lifestyle, early detection
and timely treatment, thus regular screening is
highly recommended.
Who Needs Cancer Screening?
Cancer patients are becoming younger. We
recommend every individual should undertake
regular cancer screenings. If any of your immediate
family member(s) has cancer, you will have a high
risk contracting cancer and should undertake cancer
screening regularly.
Besides regular cancer screening, we also provide
tailor-made cancer screening programmes for male
and female. In addition, we have specially designed
plans which are suitable for female at different age
groups and all female cancer screening programmes
are conducted by female doctors.
The Most Common Cancers in Hong Kong
Breast Cancer
Among all, lung cancer, bowel cancer, breast cancer,
liver cancer and prostate cancer are the most
common cancers in Hong Kong.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed
cancer in women and No. 3 among all cancers.
Nearly 24% of all cancers in women occur in the
breast. According to recent reports, there were 2,945
new cases and 555 deaths from breast cancer in
2009. The earlier breast cancer is diagnosed and
treated, the better the chance of recovery.
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the most common cancer in Hong
Kong, with an annual incidence of around 4,300
new cases. According to latest Cancer Registry
report, 3,692 people died from the disease (2,465
and 1,227 deaths among male and female
respectively) in 2009, making it the No. 1 cancer
killer. More males are affected by lung cancer than
females, with a ratio of 1.9 to 1.
Bowel Cancer
Cases of bowel cancer increased rapidly in recent
years, making it the second most common cancer in
Hong Kong. From latest reports, there were 4,335
new cases in 2009. Doctors are expecting that it will
surpass lung cancer in the next couple of years to
become the most common cancer affecting our
community. Bowel cancer is the No. 2 cancer killer
in Hong Kong, with 1,752 deaths in 2009.
Liver Cancer
Liver cancer is the fourth most common cancer and
No. 3 cancer killer in Hong Kong, with 1,832 new
cases and 1,488 deaths in 2009. Considerably more
males in Hong Kong are affected by liver cancer than
females, with a ratio of 3.1 to 1. Among the male
population, liver cancer is the fourth most common
cancer, and No. 2 killer (1,385 new cases and 1,072
deaths) in 2009. For women, it ranks 8th most
common and is the No. 4 four killer (447 new cases
and 416 deaths).
Prostate Cancer
Special Discount for Insured Members
Affecting about 1/3 of the male population over the
age of 50, and nearly all males aged 80 or above,
prostate cancer is the 5th most common cancer in
Hong Kong. The total number of incidence has
tripled over 10 years (358 cases in 1996 vs. 1,484
cases in 2009).
