今日好榮幸得到 溫婉珊 Shirley Wan 分行經理的邀請，來到香港保誠保險 PRUDENTIAL 馬驊伯 Alex Ma 的團隊分享有關香港癌症病人與照顧者面對的挑戰；我們日常的工作、工作理念，以致現時提供的各項病人支援服務詳情等。感謝各位保誠前線同事對我們所提供的服務的關注，希望今次的介紹能夠為你們的工作提供額外的價值，並且為你們身邊有需要的家人、朋友，以致客戶提供更落地的支援。
We were honored to be invited by Shirley Wan, the Branch Manager, to share with Alex Ma’s team at Prudential Hong Kong about the challenges faced by cancer patients and caregivers in Hong Kong. We discussed our daily work, the work philosophy, as well as details of the various patient support services we currently provide.
We appreciate the attention that Prudential’s frontline colleagues have shown towards the services we offer. We hope that this presentation can provide additional value to your work and offer more practical support for your family, friends, and clients in need.
We often describe cancer as being like a convenience store, always nearby. Even if you may not currently require related services, however increasing awareness about cancer, understanding advancements in cancer treatment, and discussing the support available for cancer patients in Hong Kong is akin to having insurance for unforeseen circumstances. Thank you for supporting our service, and I hope that in the days to come, we will have more opportunities for exchange and collaboration!
癌症資訊網成功舉辦「生蛇與癌症你要知」專題講座，感謝內科腫瘤科專科醫生 #吳劍邦醫生 為大家講解為何癌症病人是生蛇的高危一群，如果真的不幸生蛇有何治療及預防方法。
鳴謝 GSK 全力支持今次講座。
💡以下為 #吳劍邦醫生 歸納的幾個重點：
以往癌症病人在做治療時很多會避免接受疫苗注射， 因為第一怕抵抗力低會導致打疫苗不能使到身體產生足夠抗體，第二怕打疫苗後會發燒導致分不清是真感染的發燒還是疫苗的發燒反應，但疫情使到情況很大改變，大家都更加開始接受疫苗。
總結這次講座
1️⃣ 癌症病人是可以打蛇針，安全有效
2️⃣ 生完蛇可以打蛇針
3️⃣ 打過第一代蛇針可以再打新一代蛇針
In the past, many cancer patients would avoid receiving vaccinations during treatment. Firstly, It is believed that impaired immunity would cause the vaccine fail to mount sufficient antibodies response, and secondly, some patients would develop fever after vaccination, which would make it difficult to distinguish a fever from a real infection or reaction to the vaccine. But the pandemic has changed the situation a lot. Many people tend to accept the vaccination more. To summarize the lecture
1️⃣ Cancer patients can receive zoster vaccine, which is safe and effective
2️⃣ Zoster vaccine can be given even zoster infection had occured once the active phase is over
3️⃣ Even for those who had the first generation zoster vaccine, they can still receive the new generation of zoster vaccination

Last Sunday, we held the “Breathe With Me” gathering for lung cancer patients and their caregivers. 100 participants attended the luncheon event, which has now been held for the 3rd consecutive year. It was wonderful to see our friends again. As lung cancer treatments have advanced, many of our companions have even been in remission for 5-10 years. Despite their illnesses, they have never given up and have faced everything proactively.
We again invited Dr. Patricia Poon and patient representative, Michelle, to give sharing the latest lung cancer treatment information and provided words of encouragement to everyone.

中大醫學院影像及介入放射學系教授朱昭穎教授指出，組織碎化技術極具潛力應用於乳癌治療：「由於亞洲及中國女性的乳腺密度較白種女性為高，傳統乳房 X 光造影未必能偵測微細的乳房腫瘤，但超聲波卻能做到這點，因此依靠超聲波來確定癌症位置的組織碎化技術對亞洲及中國女性尤其有優勢。隨著科技不斷進步，具高強度超聲波的組織碎化技術極具潛力成為乳癌患者的『局部定位治療』方案，為不適合接受手術或拒絕接受傳統乳房切除手術的患者提供多一個無創選擇。」
