Grace Kong is an oncologist based in Melbourne, working at 305 Grattan Street, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia.
Grace looks after people dealing with a range of cancers and other serious hormone or growth-related conditions. In many cases, care involves looking at how the disease behaves, what treatments might help most, and how to keep things as steady as possible for both patients and families.
Her clinical focus covers neuroendocrine tumours, including conditions like pheochromocytoma and adrenal cancer. She also treats prostate cancer and cancers affecting organs such as the pancreas and stomach. At times, patients may come in with more complex problems linked to hormone changes, for example ectopic Cushing’s syndrome.
Grace also has experience with less common conditions that can be tricky to manage. This includes neuroblastoma, embryonal tumours with multilayered rosettes, and olfactory neuroblastoma. She may also support patients with brain-related conditions such as gliomatosis cerebri.
Some referrals are for bowel and gut complications too, such as intestinal pseudo-obstruction, and she is involved in the broader oncology care side when platelet counts are low, including thrombocytopenia. At times, she helps coordinate care for rarer syndromes like Ogilvie syndrome, alongside the main cancer or tumour plan.
Over time, Grace’s role is to bring a calm, practical approach to treatment decisions. Oncology care can feel overwhelming, so the conversations tend to be clear and grounded, with an emphasis on what each step means and what to expect next.
Grace is trained as a qualified oncologist, with education focused on cancer care and related specialist medicine. She works with the wider healthcare team to help patients get the right tests and treatment plan for their situation.
Research and clinical trials can be part of oncology care in some circumstances. If a suitable study is available, Grace can discuss options and what they might mean for care, depending on the person’s diagnosis and overall health.
