Who are we
In 2020, Dr Eric Tiong, Dr Harry Cheng and Dr Imen Ku together with other partners invested over HKD 80 million in Harvest Veterinary Oncology Centre (HVOC) to offer the best oncology care to pets with cancer and support their owners through the latest equipment and holistic care. HVOC is also an integrated animal hospital designed to meet the diverse demands of animal healthcare by offering a full spectrum of clinical services to our patients.
In HVOC, we have a group of dedicated, experienced and enthusiastic professionals consisting of veterinary oncologists, veterinary surgeons, medical physicists, radiation therapists, nurses and administrative staff across different specialties. We are committed to providing comprehensive services with state-of-the-art technologies and personalised care for our patients. We also provide a spacious, modern and comfortable environment to ensure a relaxed visit for them.
Uniqueness
HVOC is an oncology hospital providing comprehensive cancer treatments including surgery, radiation therapy and medical therapy for pets. Instead of running through different veterinary specialists, patients receive holistic treatment in our centre with an all-inclusive setting. As HVOC is located near an MTR station, pets can immediately return home after receiving treatment at your convenience.
HVOC is equipped with a Linear Accelerator (Linac) for radiotherapy, a Positron Emission Tomography – Computed Tomography (PET-CT) scanner and a 1.5T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner for medical imaging.
Our cutting-edge medical imaging and therapeutic equipment combined with specialist expertise provide patients with different diagnostic and treatment options. All scans, imaging investigations and radiotherapy treatments performed are tailored to each individual pet. We integrate the advantages of PET-CT and MRI to give the most accurate diagnosis for your pet.
The cutting-edge radiotherapy equipment in HVOC provides patients with different treatment options.
Linear Accelerator
Linear Accelerator (Linac) is a machine that produces high energy X-rays for radiation therapy. Our centre is equipped with a Varian™ state-of-the-art Linac Halcyon™.
The design of Halcyon™ is based on the comfort and safety of the patient. With a new generation of radiation beam intensity modulation technology, an optimized imaging system, and a simple workflow, it provides patients with high-efficiency and high-quality radiotherapy services.
Positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET-CT)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Our GE Signa Explorer MRI Scanner is ideal for detecting and identifying cancers. MRI with contrast agents is the best way to examine tumours in the brain, in soft tissues and in the spinal cord. Our experts use MRI to assess and determine the stage of cancer, ascertain tumour behaviour, and design and monitor a treatment plan including radiotherapy. In addition, MRI provides a non-invasive means to detect benign diseases in animals including paralyzed dogs with disc herniation, brain tumours, strokes, and cranial cruciate ligament ruptures.
