Duke Cancer Center Gastrointestinal (GI) Clinic

In Durham, North Carolina, this hospital-affiliated GI cancer program brings together surgical, medical, and radiation oncology with imaging and supportive care into a single outpatient GI cancer pathway. By coordinating multiple specialties within one center, patients gain faster access to tests, clearer treatment plans, and a patient-centered team approach from diagnosis through survivorship.
Core services include:

Consultations for suspected or confirmed GI cancers
Multidisciplinary care teams with medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and interventional radiologists
Integrated care coordination with nurse navigators and patient coordinators
Access to clinical trials, including stem cell–based therapies and other novel cellular approaches
Supportive services such as nutrition counseling, social work, and palliative care when appropriate
Post-treatment surveillance and survivorship planning

As a hospital-based clinic, patients benefit from access to advanced imaging, laboratory services, anesthesia, and perioperative resources as part of a seamless care experience. The program provides specialized care for cancers across the GI tract, including colon, rectal, stomach, liver, pancreas, esophagus, anal canal, gallbladder, and bile duct cancers, with a focus on individualized treatment plans designed to optimize outcomes and quality of life.
Clinical trials and stem cell focus are integral to the program, offering eligible patients opportunities to participate in innovative therapies as part of a comprehensive treatment strategy alongside standard options. Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 am–5:00 pm.
