Dr Edmond Ang is a New Zealand–trained medical oncologist based at Whangārei Hospital and Canopy Cancer Care. He cares for patients with all types of solid tumours and has a special interest in cancer care for older adults, as well as breast, gastrointestinal, and skin cancers.

Edmond brings broad clinical experience from working across numerous medical specialties in New Zealand and overseas. He is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and a member of the Royal Colleges of Physicians in Ireland and Edinburgh. He is an active cancer researcher and has received several awards, grants and fellowships in recognition of his contribution to the field.

Edmond holds a diploma in medical education and is a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Auckland. He regularly teaches students and multidisciplinary clinicians and has presented at national and international conferences, including the Presidential Session of the 2019 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.

Edmond completed a geriatric oncology technical fellowship at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Flinders Medical Centre in 2022. He is a founding member of New Zealand’s Geriatric Oncology Special Interest Group and the National Representative of the International Society of Geriatric Oncology to NZ. He believes that precision cancer care involves a thorough assessment of both the cancer and patient, so that optimal treatment decisions that produce the best results are made, while keeping patient wellbeing and priorities at the centre.

He lives in Northland with his wife, a GP, and their three boys. Outside work, he enjoys pottering around in the garden, and is slowly working on a children’s pictorial book that helps explain cancer in a gentle and accessible way.
