In a medical emergency, or for severe or sudden symptoms such as breathing difficulty, chest pain, fainting or stroke signs, call 995 immediately.
Many bus services run along Orchard Road and nearby roads, stopping within easy reach of the building. If you are travelling by taxi or a ride-hailing service, you can be dropped off at the Mount Elizabeth entrance, which is helpful if you are attending for cancer assessment or treatment and prefer a direct drop-off. The medical centre has a paid visitor carpark, which can be busy during clinic hours, so arriving a little early is sensible. Reception staff and the building directory can guide you to the correct floor and clinic suite, and you are welcome to bring a relative or friend for support.
What gynae-oncology covers
Dr Lisa Wong’s subspecialty is gynaecological oncology — the diagnosis and treatment of cancers and pre-cancerous conditions of the female reproductive system. This is a sensitive area of care that combines careful assessment with coordinated treatment. It covers:
- Cancers of the womb (endometrium), ovaries, cervix, vagina and vulva.
- Pre-cancerous changes of the cervix and other reproductive organs, often detected through screening such as Pap smears and HPV testing.
- Investigation of abnormal bleeding, pelvic masses or abnormal screening results.
- Surgical treatment of gynaecological cancers, and coordination with other cancer treatments where needed.
Care in this field often involves a multidisciplinary approach, with the gynae-oncologist working alongside other specialists. Early assessment of suspicious symptoms or abnormal screening results is important, and management is tailored to the diagnosis, stage and your individual circumstances.
What to expect at a consultation
A first visit usually begins with a thorough discussion of your symptoms, screening history, family history and any previous gynaecological conditions. A physical and pelvic examination is commonly performed. Depending on the situation, investigations may include ultrasound or other imaging, blood tests, a Pap smear, colposcopy or a biopsy to obtain a tissue sample. The doctor will explain the findings clearly and, if treatment is needed, discuss the options and what each involves. Given the nature of the conditions, time is taken to answer your questions and support your decision-making.
Preparing for your appointment
To help the consultation, it is useful to bring:
- Photo identification and any GP or polyclinic referral letter.
- Previous screening results, scans, biopsy or histology reports and operation notes.
- A current list of medications and supplements.
- A written list of your symptoms and questions.
- Details of your screening history, such as the dates of recent Pap smears or HPV tests, which are particularly relevant in gynae-oncology.
After your consultation and follow-up
After the appointment, results of investigations such as biopsies or scans are usually reviewed at a follow-up visit, where the diagnosis and any recommended treatment are explained in full. If treatment is needed, the team will outline the plan, the expected course and what support is available. Ongoing surveillance is an important part of cancer care, with regular review to monitor your condition over time. You are always entitled to seek a second opinion, which is common and accepted in cancer care. Seek urgent attention for heavy bleeding, severe pain, fever or other symptoms that cause concern.
Booking, referrals and fees
As a private specialist, an appointment can usually be made directly without a referral, though a GP or polyclinic letter is helpful for sharing your history and may support subsidies in a public clinic. For eligible procedures and cancer treatments, MediSave, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans may contribute within the limits that apply, and outpatient cancer treatment can have its own coverage rules, while consultations are generally paid out of pocket. As coverage varies by plan and treatment, confirm the details and any estimates directly with the clinic and your insurer.
Common questions
What is a gynae-oncologist?
A gynae-oncologist is a gynaecologist with further training in cancers of the female reproductive system, covering diagnosis, surgery and the coordination of treatment.
Why am I being referred for an abnormal Pap smear?
An abnormal smear does not necessarily mean cancer, but it warrants further assessment, such as colposcopy, to examine the cervix more closely and decide whether any treatment is needed.
Can I bring someone with me to the appointment?
Yes. Many people find it helpful to bring a relative or friend for support and to help remember the information discussed.
Is a second opinion appropriate in cancer care?
Seeking a second opinion is common and accepted, particularly before major treatment decisions. You are entitled to do so at any stage.
