HL Kong Medical Oncology Centre was founded by the Centre Director, Prof Kong Hwai Loong, who is assisted by a team of experienced Oncology Nurses and support staff. Our Centre has two medical premises located at Paragon Medical and Novena Medical Center.
We attend to individuals above the age of 12 years who have suspected or confirmed cancers. We administer various forms of cancer drug therapies, including: chemotherapy, targeted therapy, antibody therapy, and hormonal therapy. We also administer pain medications and other supportive therapies. Finally, we coordinate the total cancer management plan for our cancer patients, in close collaboration with other specialists as appropriate.
Our clinics are spacious and well-equipped for medical consultations and outpatient cancer treatment. We recognise that the comfort of our patients and their care-givers is of paramount importance.
