Dr. Daniel P. Nussbaum
Overview
I specialize in treating patients with cancers and pre-cancerous lesions of the pancreas, liver, bile ducts, and stomach. I also take care of patients with cancers that have spread to the liver from other locations, such as colon and rectal cancers. When a patient comes to see me, it is often a very difficult time for them and their families, and it is my privilege to take the time to get to know them, develop the most effective possible treatment plan, and thoroughly discuss how we will move forward together. I work alongside an outstanding team of medical and radiation oncologists in order to tailor care specific to each patient’s individual needs and values. Our goal is not only to provide the most effective cancer treatment, often using minimally-invasive and robotic techniques, but also to focus on maintaining quality-of-life, understanding that each patient has his or her own goals and priorities. I originally came to Duke Health as a surgical resident over a decade ago and chose to return here to practice as a surgical oncologist because of the wonderful patient community and exceptional colleagues.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
Duke Cancer Center
I’m a fellowship-trained surgical oncologist who specializes in the surgical management of patients with gastrointestinal malignancies—including soft tissue sarcomas and pancreas, colorectal and gastric cancers. Many of my patients have advanced malignancies and I am always amazed at their resilience. Their determination to fight inspires me to aggressively pursue every surgical option and to study novel techniques to improve surgical outcomes. One of the most important reasons for patients to be treated at Duke is the emphasis on a team-oriented approach to every patient. Nearly every surgical cancer patient is discussed in a multidisciplinary tumor conference in order to assure state of the art care. When I am not in the hospital, my wife and I can be found chasing our two young children or running with our dog.
