    I am a gastroenterologist and the medical director of the gastrointestinal (GI) program at Duke Raleigh Hospital. I enjoy being at Duke, because our team is one of the most experienced in the Southeastern United States. Most of the patients I see have diseases of the biliary or pancreatic systems including blockages. Some of these can be malignant. When I first meet a patient, I like to know their expectations for treatment. I also like to meet the patient’s loved ones and answer any questions they may have at the very first visit. After we talk, I review the patient’s x-rays and records. The next step is to discuss the results with my colleagues as a team, so we can come up with a unique treatment plan that is personalized for each patient. The most rewarding part of my job is the interaction with patients. If I can provide immediate help, I’m even happier. Dr. Obando is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Familial Pancreatic Cancer. His top areas of expertise are Pancreatic Cancer, Neuroendocrine Tumor, Familial Pancreatic Cancer, Endoscopy, and Pancreatectomy.

    As a medical oncologist and hematologist, I treat patients with common adult solid and hematologic cancers. My passion for cancer treatment is deeply rooted back to my childhood when I witnessed loved ones suffering from this devastating disease. As such, I share with patients and their families the feeling of desperation, pain and stress. In my view, cancer treatment is not only a medicine but also an art, as a physician needs to be sensitive to both the patient's physical, and emotional needs to keep their hope for getting better alive. I have particular interests in gastrointestinal malignancies, like esophageal, stomach, small bowel, colon, pancreatic, biliary and liver cancer. I provide my patients with evidence-based and the most advanced treatment options, including participating in clinical trial opportunities. Dr. Xiang is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Familial Pancreatic Cancer. His top areas of expertise are Familial Colorectal Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Familial Prostate Cancer, and Thrombocytopenia.

    I've been working in healthcare for over two decades, and what I like most about it is getting to know my patients well. When someone is told they have cancer, it's incredibly scary. But the good news is that there are better treatments now that can provide hope. My team and I make an effort to understand our patients, learn what's important to them, and support them through the challenging times. We use my knowledge and experience to lead a team of different experts who collaborate to try to cure cancer when possible and create treatment plans that align with the patient's preferences. I'm also well-versed in new and upcoming treatments due to my work in cancer research. I can explain them in simple terms so that everyone can understand, which helps patients feel more confident and engaged. I specialize in treating skin cancers like melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, and cancers that arise in the gastrointestinal tract, including colon and rectum. Outside of work, I'm a family man with a loving wife and two kids. We thoroughly enjoy living in North Carolina, with its beautiful scenery and outdoor activities such as hiking and sports. I've had the privilege of helping many patients, and I look forward to being there for you too.

    What is the definition of Familial Pancreatic Cancer?

    Familial pancreatic cancer (FPC) is the occurrence of pancreatic cancer in two or more first-degree relatives (parent and child, or two siblings). It is sometimes referred to as FPC only when there is not a known hereditary cancer syndrome in an affected family. In 60% of cases it occurs within the head of the pancreas. Symptoms of pancreatic cancer are generally non-specific and may include pain in the upper abdomen that radiates to the back; loss of appetite; significant weight loss; and jaundice due to bile duct obstruction. Pancreatic cancer often goes undetected until the advanced stages of the disease, and rapid tumor growth and metastasis are common. A specific genetic cause of FPC (in the absence of a known syndrome) has not been identified. Familial cases of pancreatic cancer due to hereditary conditions may be caused by genetic changes in any of several genes. Individuals who carry a genetic change in one of these genes are often at an increased risk of other types of cancers as well. In many cases, inheritance of a predisposition to develop FPC is autosomal dominant. In some cases, is may be multifactorial.

    When should I see a Familial Pancreatic Cancer doctor near Cary, NC?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Familial Pancreatic Cancer doctor near Cary, NC?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Familial Pancreatic Cancer doctors near Cary, NC?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Familial Pancreatic Cancer doctors near Cary, NC?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Familial Pancreatic Cancer doctor near Cary, NC?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Familial Pancreatic Cancer doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Familial Pancreatic Cancer doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Familial Pancreatic Cancer doctor near Cary, NC?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Familial Pancreatic Cancer doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Familial Pancreatic Cancer doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Familial Pancreatic Cancer doctors near Cary, NC?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Familial Pancreatic Cancer doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Familial Pancreatic Cancer doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Familial Pancreatic Cancer doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
