With over 20 years of experience, Dr Patricia Kho is an experienced medical oncologist who is practicing at Mount Elizabeth Novena, Gleneagles and Mount Alvernia Hospital, Singapore. She has subspecialty interests in lung, head and neck, breast and gastrointestinal cancers.
Dr Kho graduated from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, and worked at the National University Hospital (NUH) in Singapore before continuing her specialist postgraduate training in Medical Oncology at the Sydney Cancer Centre, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, (now known as Chris O’brien Lifehouse) under the mentorship of Prof Michael Boyer, Prof Stephen Clarke and Prof Alan Coates. She obtained her fellowship from the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP) in 2003.
Her interest in translational research in search of personalised cancer treatments led her to work at Genome Institute of Singapore under Prof Edison Liu from 2002 to 2003. She subsequently obtained a Master of Philosophy (Medicine) from the University of Sydney with a research thesis entitled “Optimising Adjuvant Treatment for Colorectal Cancer”.
Dr Kho returned to Sydney in 2005 and was appointed Head of the Department of Medical Oncology in Liverpool Hospital, a public teaching university hospital in Sydney.
