Biography

Melisa Wong, MD, MAS, AGSF is a thoracic oncologist who treats patients with lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies. Dr. Wong has a particular interest in caring for older adults with cancer. Her goal is to provide personalized cancer care based on patients’ values and goals.

Dr. Wong’s research focuses on understanding and improving patient-centered outcomes in older adults with cancer. She and her research team study the impact of lung cancer treatment on patients’ functional status and quality of life.

In 2005, Dr. Wong earned her undergraduate degree in Human Biology with Honors and Distinction at Stanford University. She then completed medical school and training in internal medicine and medical oncology at UCSF. Dr. Wong also completed advanced research training as an Aging Research Fellow in the UCSF Division of Geriatrics and earned her Master’s Degree in Clinical Research in the UCSF Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. Dr. Wong is a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, Cancer and Aging Research Group, Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, International Society of Geriatric Oncology, International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, and American Geriatrics Society.

Dr. Wong was a National Institute on Aging Butler-Williams Scholar in 2016 and received four Conquer Cancer Foundation of ASCO Merit Awards (2016 and 2017 ASCO Quality Care Symposium, 2016 and 2017 ASCO Annual Meeting). In 2017, she also received a Conquer Cancer Foundation of ASCO/Vicky Merryman Women Who Conquer Cancer Young Investigator Award, UCSF Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center Research Education Core Advanced Scholar Award, UCSF CTSI KL2 Career Development Award, and NIA GEMSSTAR R03. Dr. Wong's geriatric oncology research program is currently funded by an NIA Paul B. Beeson Emerging Leaders Career Development Award in Aging (K76).

Research Narrative

Dr. Wong's research focuses on understanding and improving patient-centered outcomes in older adults with cancer. She is currently studying the impact of lung cancer treatment (such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy) on patients' functional status and quality of life. Dr. Wong also studies how symptoms change over time in older adults with cancer. 

Dr. Wong’s forthcoming study, “Lung Cancer in Older Adults: Treatment Toxicity Through the Patient’s Lens,” will recruit UCSF lung cancer patients who are age 65 or older and starting a new chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy regimen. Dr. Wong and her research team will explore how lung cancer treatment impacts patients’ functional status and quality of life.
