About NCCS
The National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS)
The National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) is the national specialty centre for complex cancer care which manages the majority of cancer cases in Singapore’s public healthcare sector.
Cancer is the leading cause of death in Singapore, with 1 in 4 Singaporeans expected to get the disease in their lifetime. The rising incidence of cancer drives the team at NCCS to continually seek new, innovative treatment options for our patients.
