Nip stands for Neoplasm Interception Program. "Neoplasm" is the scientific term for cancerous growth, and "Interception" means to interrupt the early formation of cancer.
This program will complete the comprehensive range of cancer care services available within the National Cancer Centre Singapore. It is our fervent hope that the end of cancer will truly begin with this program.
Program entails the following 3Rs:
| 1) |
Risk evaluation in the "Nip" clinic in Crystal Suite of National Cancer Centre Singapore. Detailed history with special risk assessment models and examination to determine cancer-risk profile. |
| 2) |
Recommendation of specific screening tests tailored to each individual's cancer risk profile. This program recognizes the uniqueness of each individual's needs. |
| 3) |
Review of all results will be done at the second visit. Explanation of abnormal test results and follow-up actions will be discussed. A long term screening interval and schedule will be drawn up. |
