A landmark research led by clinicians and scientists from NUH and other institutions, resulted in a better understanding of the intricate mechanisms behind the spread of gastric cancer to the peritoneum, which is the lining of the abdominal cavity. For gastric cancers, it is the most common site of metastasis, both before and after treatments. These new findings provide hope for gastric cancer patients, with more effective and targeted treatments.

Prof Yap Hui Kim and Dr David Lu led the diagnosis and treatment of four-year old Siqing, who suffered from atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). It is a rare condition that causes tiny blood clots to form in the body’s small blood vessels, with a global incidence figure between 0.23 to 1.9 per million population annually. While there is no known cure, aHUS can be treated by plasmapheresis, where the patient’s plasma is removed and replaced with a donor’s healthy plasma. Thankfully, Siqing’s overall condition improved after the treatment. Now ten years old, Siqing leads a fulfilling life.

Seven years ago, Mr Chan was told that he had only a year left to live. His only hope was a liver transplant. Thankfully, his daughter was a match and made the courageous decision to donate part of her liver to give her father a new lease of life. Under the meticulous care of the multidisciplinary team at the National University Centre for Organ Transplantation (NUCOT), Mr Chan successfully underwent a liver transplant and both father and daughter went home well less than two weeks after surgery. We are happy to see that Mr Chan and his daughter continue to lead active lives today. Watch this video to hear from Mr Chan. — NUCOT is Singapore's leading organ transplant centre and the only specialist centre for both adult and paediatric organ transplantation.
