6 common types of cancer in the Philippines

Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan — Former Undersecretary of Health of the Philippines. He is currently a senior adviser at the DOH on community health recovery programs and integrative oncology.

Reporter:
Doctor, the cancer rate in the Philippines remains high, and many people are diagnosed only when the disease is already in its late stages. In your opinion, what is the main reason for this situation?

Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan:
Yes, this is indeed a concerning reality. The main reasons are the lack of early screening, limited knowledge about early symptoms, and the high cost of treatment, which causes many people to delay seeking medical care.
In addition, modern lifestyles — lack of physical activity, air pollution, high-fat diets, and prolonged stress — also weaken the immune system, creating conditions for abnormal cells to develop.

Reporter:
Yes, as you mentioned, many patients discover the disease only after it has metastasized. So doctor, what makes treatment in the late stages so difficult?

Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan:
When cancer has metastasized, malignant cells are no longer concentrated in one organ but have spread to multiple areas of the body.
This makes chemotherapy and radiotherapy less effective and severely weakens the body.
Many patients do not die from the cancer cells themselves, but from exhaustion, organ failure, and infections during the course of treatment.

Reporter:
Doctor, given this reality, finding a safer and more effective method must be extremely urgent. Does the DOH currently have any new direction for cancer patients?

Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan:
In recent years, the DOH and the Philippine Cancer Center (PCC) have been collaborating to study methods that support cancer recovery from within the body, instead of focusing solely on destroying malignant cells.
This approach helps boost immunity, reduce fatigue, support nutrition, and prevent recurrence.
It is a holistic approach — viewing the body as a unified system, not just a place where a tumor needs to be eliminated.

Reporter:
That sounds very interesting. So, doctor, what exactly is the mechanism behind this new treatment approach?

Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan:
This method is based on the principle of restoring healthy cells and strengthening the immune system.
Instead of simply “fighting” cancer, it helps the body re-establish internal balance, eliminate toxins, and support the liver, kidneys, and heart to function more effectively.
When the organs and immune system are restored, the body can naturally suppress the growth of malignant cells and prevent metastasis.

Reporter:
Doctor, can this therapy be applied at home? And is it safe for patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy?

Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan:
Absolutely. This is a supportive recovery method designed to be friendly and safe, created to complement all existing cancer treatment protocols.
Patients can apply it right at home, under the guidance of a doctor or a DOH-certified medical specialist.
This method has helped many patients eat better, sleep more deeply, reduce pain, lessen hair loss, and recover more quickly after chemotherapy.

Reporter:
Doctor, what are the initial results of this program? Are there any specific findings regarding the effectiveness of this method?

Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan:
In last year’s trial program at PCC, we recorded that more than 78% of patients showed significant improvement in overall health within just 4 weeks.
Blood, liver, kidney, and immune indicators all improved.
Most importantly, the rates of recurrence and metastasis decreased significantly, while patients experienced better quality of life, a more positive mindset, and stronger recovery after chemotherapy.

Reporter:
Doctor, could you provide more details about this method?

Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan:
This method is called MediHope+, a clinical nutrition formula developed in the United States, certified by the DOH and the Philippine Cancer Center for safety and effectiveness.
It helps support the immune system, reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy, and prevent metastasis by nourishing healthy cells from within.
What makes MediHope+ special is that it is a natural recovery solution that has already been applied in many countries around the world.

Reporter:
Doctor, if people want to use MediHope+, where can they purchase it?

Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan:
Currently, the DOH is working with the Philippine Cancer Center (PCC) to officially import and distribute MediHope+ in the Philippines.
To avoid counterfeit products and ensure quality, it is sold only through the DOH-certified website.
In addition, the DOH is implementing a limited-time subsidy program to help cancer patients access the product more easily without the burden of high costs.

After the DOH and PCC released the clinical validation results showing the outstanding effectiveness of MediHope+ in supporting treatment and preventing metastasis, thousands of Filipinos registered for consultations.

According to the report in the research document published by PCC, MediHope+ is made from highly purified natural bio-based ingredients, including cell-regenerating proteins, organic micronutrients, and bio-plant extracts from the United States and Japan, combined with medical enzymes used for post-chemotherapy recovery.
These ingredients can only be harvested seasonally, transported under special conditions, and undergo 9 stages of bio-purification before blending.
For this reason, each production batch is limited in quantity to ensure international-standard safety and effectiveness.

PCC affirms:
“This is not a mass-produced product. We prioritize quality over quantity to ensure that every patient receives maximum recovery benefits.”

Doctors are consulting the first patient in the Philippines about the importance of MediHope+ in cancer treatment.

To help cancer patients in the country access this solution more easily, we have decided to distribute a portion of the current MediHope+ batch with a special 50% discount through the official online channel.

However, due to limited import volume, only the first 100 lucky people will receive this offer.

If you wish to register, please fill in your personal information and phone number in the form below.

Eligibility for the MediHope+ Discount Program:
Must be a Filipino citizen aged 18 or older
Must purchase MediHope+ for personal use
We do not sell MediHope+ to dealers or pharmacies for profit-making purposes
Priority is given to patients currently undergoing cancer treatment or at risk of recurrence/metastasis

In support of the National Cancer Research Agenda (NCRA) 2024–2028, as the Department of Health (DOH) aims to “turn cancer from a death sentence into a disease that can be controlled and recovered,” we request the manufacturer to support the 50% discount program for each MediHope+ treatment course, now only 1,599 pesos per can, along with:
Buy 2, get 1 free
Buy 3, get 2 free
Buy 5, get 5 free
The program runs only until the end of this week, or until the allocated supply from DOH–PCC runs out.

I struggled with fatigue after radiation therapy. MediHope+ helped me sleep better and recover faster.
