The National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM), (Persatuan Kebangsaan Kanser Malaysia), is the first not-for-profit cancer organisation in Malaysia that provides education, care and support services for people affected by cancer and the general public. Established in 1966, we are a tax-exempt charity body registered under the laws of the Malaysian Societies Act and Registrar of Societies Malaysia. The Society was founded by the late Dato’ Dr S.K. Dharmalingam, the first oncologist in Malaysia and was launched by then Prime Minister of Malaysia, the late YAB Tun Abdul Razak. NCSM is now under the distinguished patronage of His Royal Highness Sultan Paduka Seri Sultan Perak Darul Ridzuan, Sultan Nazrin Muizzudin Shah. We provide holistic cancer–related services to cancer patients, caregivers and the public through our centres – Cancer and Health Screening Clinic, Nuclear Medicine Centre, Resource and Wellness Centre, Children’s Home of Hope and the Adults' Home of Hope. NCSM's head office is located in Kuala Lumpur with five branches nationwide in Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Penang, Perak, and Sarawak.
