NUHS INTERNATIONAL COLORECTAL SYMPOSIUM

The theme of this year’s Symposium is ‘Lifestyle, Aging and Colorectal Health’. There is a recent paradigm shift from disease treatment to disease prevention. Hence, the promotion of lifestyle modification has gained greater recognition and priority in the Ministry of Health’s agenda towards disease prevention. This parallels our current strategy against colorectal diseases where more focus is now placed on healthier lifestyle. As such, our 2 days of plenary lectures will include current topics concerning lifestyle and aging related issues pertinent to colorectal diseases, as well as popular subjects on recent advances in the management of colorectal cancer.
