Adrian Pogacian, Founder of INCKA Psycho-oncology Center, shared a post by CancerWorld, adding:
“On paper, cancer care can be mapped, measured, and modelled. In practice, it is far less contained.
For Charis Ng, a trainee health psychologist and PhD student, that gap between theory and lived reality became impossible to ignore during her work in Singapore – where she moved between research, clinical conversation, and the emotional intensity of advanced cancer care.
Last year, she worked as a health coach within ENABLE-SG (Educate, Nurture, Advise, Before Life 40, CancerWorld, Ends-Singapore), a randomized controlled trial led by the National Cancer Centre Singapore. The study tests whether early palliative care support, delivered alongside routine oncology care, can improve outcomes for patients with advanced cancer and their caregivers.”
