Dr. Sarah Jo Stephens
Overview
I am a radiation oncologist with Duke Health who focuses primarily on Women’s Health, including breast and gynecologic malignancies. I worked as a nursing assistant (CNA) in inpatient oncology prior to attending medical school and this experience sparked and solidified my commitment to cancer patients. I aim to provide high-quality, comprehensive cancer care as part of the Duke Health's multi-disciplinary care team. I strive to develop trusting, compassionate relationships with my patients and their loved ones. I believe that clear and consistent communication with patients, families, and other members of a patient’s health care team is paramount. I hope to provide patients with the necessary tools to better understand their diagnosis and treatment options while maintaining a focus on the person as a whole. Outside of my clinical practice, I enjoy listening to podcasts and spending time with my husband and adorable dog.

Duke Cancer Center
I specialize in gynecological radiation oncology but also treat patients with cancer of the breast, brain and central nervous system among others. I also have a special clinical interest in brachytherapy, when radiation is delivered directly to the target internally. Duke is a world leader in treating gynecological cancers with all forms of treatment. I have the privilege of collaborating with many other specialists in gynecologic surgery, chemotherapy and pathology. We have built a state of the art gynecologic cancer program in radiation therapy with a dedicated brachytherapy suite with built-in anesthesia monitoring, imaging to allow for the most complex and pinpoint treatments to treat tumors, while sparing all normal tissue. My mother was a radiation oncologist. Growing up, her dedication to her patients inspired me. She developed truly, caring relationships and touched the lives of so many people over the decades of her practice. My wife, my two children and I currently live in Durham and have been happy members of the Duke community since 2005. Outside of medicine, I spend as much time with them as I can.
