Dr. Xiang Wang
Overview
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.

Additional Areas of Focus
Dr. Wang has provided the following conditions as areas of focus. Please note that we may not have enough data to validate their experience in some of these conditions.
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 Blood Cancer Center
An interest in biological sciences and giving back to the community drove me to medical school, but it has been a desire to advance the field of hematologic malignancies, specifically Multiple Myeloma, that brings me to Duke Health. Cancer is a life-altering diagnosis. With a strong, competent team caring for a patient, there can be many success stories. My goal is to empower my patients to understand their diagnosis and how to manage their disease while providing them with many treatment options along the way. Dr. Costa is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency. Her top areas of expertise are Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM), Multiple Myeloma, Smoldering Multiple Myeloma, Hereditary Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, and Bone Marrow Aspiration.
Firsthealth Of The Carolinas Inc
Robert Pohlmeyer is a Hematologist Oncology specialist and a Hematologist in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Dr. Pohlmeyer is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency. His top areas of expertise are Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS), Schnitzler Syndrome, and Paget Disease of the Breast. Dr. Pohlmeyer is currently accepting new patients.
Duke Adult Blood And Marrow Transplant Clinic
The Division of Cellular Therapy does bone marrow transplants and stem cell transplants for patients with different types of blood cancers. Specifically, I see patients with multiple myeloma or other plasma cell issues like amyloidosis. Many of the cases in my clinic are difficult. So I spend a lot of time talking with my patients, explaining the disease when they come as new patients and talking about the complexity of the disease, because it’s important that they understand what to ask their physicians here at Duke and at home. There’s no standard treatment for myeloma. We have different options – continuation of therapy, immediate transplant or transplant later. I like to explain to patients why I favor a certain treatment approach and why I think it would be the best approach for them. Dr. Gasparetto is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency. Her top areas of expertise are Multiple Myeloma, Smoldering Multiple Myeloma, Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM), Bone Marrow Transplant, and Colonoscopy.
