Launch of Asian Cancer Study

Medical specialist SoHealthAsia has announced a new study of cancer treatments in Asia, the first phase of which was completed this week. Cancer in Asia Today examines at the patient level how Oncologists and others manage treatment of a range of cancers, collecting the data directly from physicians.

The study provides insights into product usage, patient profiles, and physicians' prescribing habits. The initial data will be made freely available to companies interested in the study.

SoHealthAsia Director Scott Davies says the research focuses primarily on two cancers, breast cancer and lung cancer. 'We have collected micro, detailed data from over 100 patient cases, and we'll be sharing the initial results with clients, before we embark on the main phase of the project at the end of Q1 across Asia. So far the detail and the insight into current treatment, even from this relatively small number of cases, is exceptional'.
