Overview
I specialize in the care of patients with urologic cancers – mainly prostate cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer and testicular cancer. A cancer diagnosis is one of the scariest things that can happen to someone. For many of our patients, they don’t necessarily feel different or look different, but they are scared to death. The most important thing you can get from Duke is real understanding of your particular case and what your options are. Knowledge is so reassuring and empowering for patients, especially those recently diagnosed with cancer. When you’re first diagnosed, you have to put your trust in a care team, and that’s hard to do if you don’t already know them. As the largest cancer center in North Carolina, Duke has great reputation and experience, which helps many patients chose Duke for their care. But we grow and develop our trust with patients because of who we are as people and how much expertise and care we bring to each case.

6 Clinical Trials
Duke Cancer Center
I am a medical oncologist who focuses on bone and soft tissue cancers called sarcomas. I love spending time with my patients. They often have a sense of awareness about their condition that’s truly unique and rewarding. I partner with each patient so they know the full set of options available for treatment and can make an informed decision about the approach that is best for them. I’ve wanted to pursue medicine for as long as I can remember. I find cancer fascinating because of its ability to evade the immune system. The body fails to recognize cancer as being foreign. When I am not at work, I love spending time with my family and enjoy long distance running. Dr. Riedel is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma. His top areas of expertise are Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma, Liposarcoma, Desmoid Tumor, and Angiosarcoma.
Duke Cancer Center Sarcoma Clinic
I am a medical oncologist specializing in bone and soft tissue cancers called sarcomas. Sarcomas occur throughout the body, so I collaborate closely with colleagues from other specialties in a multidisciplinary team. I view my role in caring for someone's cancer as as privilege and strive to work together with each patient to ensure the best treatment decisions are made, all the while embracing each person's uniqueness as an individual. I see adult patients of all ages, but have a particular interest in the unique challenges facing a young adults with cancer. When I'm not working, you can find me exploring the outdoors with my family, traveling, and cooking. Dr. Grilley-Olson is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma. Her top areas of expertise are Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma, Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma, Bone Tumor, and Fibrosarcoma.
Duke Cancer Center
I specialize in treating people with genitourinary (GU) cancers, such as bladder, prostate, testicular and kidney cancer. I don’t treat other types of cancer across the breadth of tumors like some oncologists in the community may, such as blood cancer, breast cancer or lung cancer. My focus has allowed me to gain deep expertise in GU cancers and to stay abreast of the newest treatment advances, clinical research and so on for those specific GU cancers. As a medical oncologist, I meet patients at one of the scariest moments of their lives. I try to help educate them to make a decision about their disease and its process, and what their treatment options may be, so we can come to a shared decision about what might be the best option. The teaching aspect really strikes home for me. Both of my parents are teachers. The root word for “doctor” in Latin means “to teach.” So that is something I’m both naturally called to do and enjoy doing. Dr. Harrison is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma. His top areas of expertise are Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), Prostate Cancer, Familial Prostate Cancer, Clear Cell Sarcoma, and Prostatectomy.
