Overview
My primary focus is to deliver high-quality and compassionate care to patients. I aim to treat all my patients like I would want my own family members to be treated. My grandmother died of gall bladder cancer. I accompanied her to all her appointments and that experience led me to choose the field of hematology-oncology. Trust between patients and their oncologists is paramount, and I strive to be my patients' trusted friend. Open discussion of all available treatment options and active participation of the patient is extremely important to me. Making patients aware of all evidence-based treatments and ongoing clinical trials before we create a mutually agreed upon treatment plan is crucial. I am always available to discuss various issues that may arise as part of a patient's treatment plan.

11 Clinical Trials
Duke Cancer Center
I am a part of the thoracic oncology program. I work with patients who have cancers of the lung, which includes non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, and mesothelioma. My focus is on clinical care, clinical trials, and developing new therapies for these diseases. When I first meet with a patient, I want them to understand what their diagnosis is, because there are actually multiple diagnoses of lung cancer and each are treated differently. Then I discuss with a patient whether they are a candidate for therapies such as molecular therapy or immunotherapy, and make sure they have a clear understanding of the treatment plan. There are some very promising new therapies for these diseases and we are fortunate to have those available to patients here at Duke. That’s one of the unique things we offer as an academic medical center. Dr. Stinchcombe is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

Duke Cancer Center
I realized during a biology class in college that I could use my interest in science to help make a difference in people’s lives. It drove my decision to pursue a career in medicine. I realized early in medical school that I wanted to spend my career trying to understand cancer, how to fight it and caring for patients who have it. As a medical oncologist with Duke Cancer Center, I specialize in cancers of the chest, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. Working closely with my patients, getting to know them personally and understanding their values and goals, allows me to develop individualized care and treatment plans for each one. The most rewarding part of my work is developing long term relationships with my patients and their families throughout their cancer journeys. I am motivated and inspired by how my patients live their lives everyday. Dr. Melson is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
