The Cancer Institute (TCI) offers comprehensive cancer management programmes to tackle the disease from prevention to recovery and long-term health maintenance. By integrating the various cancer services and expertise in NHG institutions, TCI is able to provide seamless and coordinated healthcare so that our patients receive dedicated professional care where they need them, in the most effective manner.

TCI’s research focus involves the identification of molecular markers to be used for diagnosis and the development of new treatment strategies. This work is being done in close collaboration with the National University of Singapore. TCI’s medical staff collaborate with clinical research groups in undertaking clinical trials on new and promising cancer therapies.

Currently, TCI’s services are available at National University Hospital, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Alexandra Hospital and NHG Polyclinics. TCI also collaborates with the general practitioners, hospices and cancer support groups to ensure that patients receive the full continuum of care.
