Doctor in the House: Is This The End of Cancer?

Dr George Lee returns to discuss the latest medical news. Expect deep insights delivered with generous humour. Earlier this week, a news article about “lifesaving cancer drugs” and new cancer treatments being unavailable in Malaysian public healthcare was met with a rebuttal from the Ministry of Health. Are these the answer to cancer woes? Joining Dr George in discussion is senior consultant oncologist Dr Fuad Ismail.
