About Us

The Department of Clinical Oncology at the University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) is a leading center for cancer care, research, and education. Located on the first floor of the East Tower (Menara Timur), it serves as a tertiary referral center for non-surgical cancer treatments, including radiation therapy and systemic anti-cancer therapies such as chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, biologic therapy and immunotherapy. The department receives in-house referrals from UMMC and external referrals from government and private hospitals across Malaysia and abroad.

The department provides comprehensive educational programs for medical and paramedical students at basic, post-basic, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels. It is also a key hub for cancer research, conducting phase I, II, and III clinical trials, to test and develop innovative cancer treatments.

Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, the department ensures compliance with good clinical practice. It collaborates with governmental and non-governmental organisations locally and internationally to enhance cancer care, education, and research.
