Chee Keong Toh

MBBS, MRCP (UK), FAMS (Medical Oncology)

Dr. Chee Keong Toh is a senior Singapore-based medical oncologist who sub-specialises in thoracic oncology, with a particular focus on lung cancer, EGFR-driven non-small cell lung cancer and thymic tumours. He also treats genitourinary cancers, including prostate, kidney, bladder and testicular cancer, as well as head and neck cancers.

Dr. Toh worked at the National Cancer Centre Singapore for the majority of his career, where he led the Lung Cancer Consortium project that coordinated lung cancer research across Singapore. He also spent three years as Director of Clinical Research at Raffles Cancer Centre before moving to Curie Oncology, where he currently practises, with consultations at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital. His clinical and research work has centred on lung cancer in Asian patients, including never-smokers, a group in whom EGFR mutations and targeted therapy have significantly changed treatment outcomes. He was part of the team awarded a National Medical Research Council Large Collaborative Grant for next-generation clinical trials in lung cancer, and contributed to Singapore Cancer Network guideline development for lung, kidney, prostate and bladder cancers.
