Dr. Nicholas C. Devito
Overview
I am a medical oncologist who treats colorectal, pancreatic, and esophagogastric cancers while conducting research in tumor immunology and immunotherapy. My interest in oncology stems from experience in a cancer vaccine laboratory and working with oncologists during my undergraduate degree, who inspired my curiosity when I did not have scientists or doctors in my family. I conduct primarily laboratory-based and translational research, with the goal of finding new immunotherapeutic options supported by precision biomarkers to identify patients. In the clinic, I aim to treat my patients with innovative therapies, learn more about their cancer through research, and offer understanding through a shared decision-making process. Outside of work, I play guitar and trumpet, work on cars, and love to travel with my family.

1 Clinical Trials
Duke Cancer Center
I specialize in the treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers with a focus on clinical trials. Clinical trial patients can come to me at any point during their disease, but they usually come to me looking for an alternative therapy once standard treatments have not been effective. I decided to become a doctor later in my career. I originally graduated from university with a non-science degree, but the excitement of advancing medical breakthroughs inspired me to start a career in medicine. As a Duke physician, I enjoy the diverse experiences that I get to have each week. In addition to taking care of patients and conducting research, I work closely with other doctors on crafting treatment plans. I also find it fulfilling to be able to apply my research to patient care. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, jogging and skiing.

Duke Cancer Center
I decided to go to medical school during the early part of college and then never really looked back. I enjoyed every discipline while I was in medical school and had a difficult time selecting a specialty, until I did a rotation in Hematology/Oncology. After observing the relationships that oncologists develop with patients and their families, I knew that medical oncology was the right place for me. Getting to know my patients and their families and helping them achieve their goals, despite a cancer diagnosis, has become extremely important to me. I also enjoy working as part of a multidisciplinary team to make sure that patients get the most comprehensive care possible. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with family, reading, and running. Dr. Uronis is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Esophageal Cancer.
