Dr. Tong completed his BSc from the University of Toronto, where he worked in several labs, including Glioblastoma biomarkers discovery at SickKids. After obtaining his Medical Degree, he completed his Clinical Oncology specialty training in London, UK, where he trained at the Royal Marsden Hospital and had experience treating patients with MRL and cyberknife. Following this, he completed his Fellowships in Thoracic Oncology at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, and CNS and GU Fellowships at Sunnybrook Hospital. His Fellowship experience included complex SBRT, re-irradiation, MRL and gammaknife. Dr. Tong’s clinical focus is on Thoracic and Genitourinary malignancies.
