Nirmala Bhoo Pathy: What Do People Really Need After a Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis?

Nirmala Bhoo Pathy, Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine at University of Malaya, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“What do people really need after a colorectal cancer diagnosis?
Hot off the press in Psycho-Oncology
In our latest study conducted across public and private hospitals as well as community settings in Malaysia, we spoke to over 600 individuals living with colorectal cancer, and what we heard was clear….
  • 4 out of 5 wanted shorter hospital waits.
  • Nearly 9 in 10 needed clearer, kinder communication.
  • More than a third struggled with financial concerns, even in a system that subsidizes care.
  • 3 in 4 called for emotional support for themselves and their families.
  • Many younger adults faced employment and practical challenges while juggling treatment.
This isn’t just about medicine, it’s about dignity, empathy, and support that lasts beyond the hospital walls.
We hope this work sparks conversations (and action!) toward more equitable, patient-centered cancer care, especially in resource-limited settings.”
