Dr. Carey K. Anders
Overview
My clinical practice if focused on the care of patients with breast cancer, particularly those diagnosed at a younger age and those with recurrence in the central nervous system. I am committed to the care of patients with breast cancer brain metastases, and I am honored to serve as the Medical Director of the Brain and Spine Metastases Program in the Duke Cancer Center. In this role, our multidisciplinary team provides well-coordinated care for patients with breast cancer and other solid tumor types that have metastasized to the central nervous system. In addition, I enjoy helping young women diagnosed with breast cancer navigate their treatment decisions to ensure both excellent medical care and attention to individual challenges, such as future fertility, sequelae of treatment on longer-term health, and impact on current and future relationships. When not working, I enjoy running, reading, and traveling with my family.

Duke Cancer Center
As a cancer doctor, I strive to provide the kind of care that I would want for my own family. My aim is to use my expertise, knowledge, and understanding of the human condition to empower patients. While scientific knowledge and approaches are at the core of what I do, I find it important to aim to integrate the human context into what my team and I offer patients and their families. Having lived, trained, and worked in different countries, including Australia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States, I have developed unique insights into the practice of medicine and cancer care around the world. These experiences have given me a broader perspective and helped inform my approach to individualized patient care. I see my ability to help patients as a privilege, and I do get enormous pleasure from being able to help. When not working, I am an avid reader and enjoy running, cycling, and spending time with my family. Dr. Khasraw is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Brain Tumor.
