Our medical group’s OncoCare Cancer Centre brings together an experienced cohort of clinical oncologists and medical oncologist who are dedicated to serving the health and wellbeing of cancer patients and their families with a patient-centred approach.
Cancer Diagnosis, Treatment and Ongoing Care Support
OncoCare Cancer Centre, part of the Group, brings together a team of oncology specialists to provide cancer patients with specialist assessment, treatment recommendations, and ongoing follow-up care. Services cover many of Hong Kong’s most common cancers, including lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, thyroid cancer, pancreatic cancer, skin cancer, ovarian cancer, and cervical cancer, etc.
Based on each patient’s pathology reports, genetic testing results, imaging studies, overall health condition, and treatment goals, the doctor will formulate a personalised treatment plan. Treatment options may include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy, as well as surgical treatment coordinated with affiliated hospitals and relevant surgical specialists.

What Should I Prepare Before Seeing an Oncology Specialist?
Before your first appointment with an oncology specialist, it is helpful to organise your medical records and investigation reports. This allows the doctor to gain a comprehensive understanding of your condition and helps facilitate the development of an appropriate treatment and follow-up plan.
It is recommended to prepare the following information:
- Your latest pathology biopsy report
- Recent imaging scans and reports, such as PET-CT, MRI, or CT scans
- Previous blood test results, tumour marker reports, or other relevant laboratory results
- Drug allergy records and information on any previous treatment-related reactions
- Personal and family history of cancer or inherited medical conditions
- Referral letters and medical summaries from other specialists or family doctors (if applicable)
- A list of current medications, including long-term medications and supplements
- Any questions regarding treatment options, side effect management, follow-up arrangements, or seeking a second medical opinion
What Can an Oncology Specialist Help With?
An oncology specialist can provide expert advice on cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship care, including:
- Assessment and treatment of lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and other common cancers
- Interpretation of pathology reports, genetic testing results, and medical imaging findings
- Evaluation of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy treatment options
- Radiotherapy (radiation therapy) and multidisciplinary cancer treatment planning
- Assessment of cancer recurrence risk and post-treatment surveillance
- Cancer symptom control and treatment side effect management
- Second opinions and review of treatment plans
- Coordination of pre-operative and post-operative treatment with surgical specialists
- Cancer rehabilitation support and long-term follow-up care
A medical oncologist, on the other hand, primarily focuses on drug-based cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and hormonal therapy, and generally does not provide radiotherapy services.
Oncology specialists typically coordinate treatment according to a patient’s condition and work closely with surgeons, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals to develop a comprehensive multidisciplinary cancer treatment plan.
