The Duke Gastrointestinal Cancers Program provides specialty care for patients battling rare and common cancers of the stomach, pancreas, liver, biliary system, small intestine, colon, and rectum.

Patients play an integral role in creating the treatment plan and deciding which options feel right for them and their families.

Our integrated team approach gives each patient access to all the information needed to make informed, knowledgeable decisions.

Our team of experienced, patient-focused cancer specialists includes gastrointestinal surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, gastroenterologists, radiologists, pathologists, social workers, and nurses.

Our multidisciplinary teams draw upon decades of training and experience treating complex and unusual cases as they evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of various diagnostic and treatment regimens.

Our physicians discuss all options with patients and map the most effective course of treatment for each individual. Patients are able to consult with our multidisciplinary team in one day.
