Surgery and management of patients with cancer is very complex and challenging. I enjoy working at Duke because of the breadth and quality of people we have here. I really feel like I’m working with the best when I’m working with my colleagues. I went into obstetrics and gynecology, because I enjoyed working with women patients. Then as a resident, I found that oncology patients were among the most gratifying to take care of because they appreciate so much everything you try to do for them. In high school and college, I was very interested in science and mathematics, and the human body and physiology. In college, meeting different types of people, I realized that I wanted a profession that gave me the opportunity to interact with all different kinds of people. My wife and I moved here 25 years ago and have never regretted it. It’s a great area to live.

I treat all gynecologic cancers including endometrial (uterine), ovarian, cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers.

I am also interested in cancer survivorship and issues that may arise after cancer treatment is completed. My specific surgical areas of expertise include advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgery, sentinel lymph node procedures, laser therapy, and complex pelvic surgery. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and exploring the world with my two-year-old daughter.

My practice and research focuses on patients who have female-specific cancers, such as ovarian, endometrial, cervical, vulvar or vaginal cancer. I offer my patients access to variety of treatments, ranging from surgery to chemotherapy and radiation. My dad was a physician, and my mom was a nurse, so I was exposed to health care at an early age. I enjoy my work on female cancers, because it is one of the few subspecialties to blend surgery and chemotherapy. It also gives me the chance to develop strong relationships with my patients, since I get to take care of my patients before and during their surgery, as well as continue to see them for the rest of their lifetime. I’ve found those patients, who have been able to face their diagnosis with unwavering optimism, to be incredibly inspiring. I have three children, so outside of work I spend as much time as I can with my family. Dr. Alvarez is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumor. Her top areas of expertise are Ovarian Cancer, Endometrial Cancer, Cervical Cancer, Hysterectomy, and Intrauterine Device Insertion.

I am a gynecologic oncologist at Duke. I see women who have ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, and vulvar cancer. I also see women with precancerous conditions of the gynecologic organs, which includes cervical dysplasia, vaginal dysplasia, and masses of the ovary that may or may not be cancer. I am fairly direct and let people know what they are dealing with up front. On the other hand, I try to keep everything positive. At this point in my career, I’ve had a lot of experience and will let patients know that while there’s a full range of outcomes that could happen, I have seen a lot of positive examples based on their condition. If I had cancer or a family member of mine had cancer, I would absolutely want them to come to Duke. It’s not just the standard treatments that we offer here, but also the attention to detail and access to world-class clinical trials.

I treat patients with all forms of gynecologic cancers and also offer surgery for complex benign gynecologic conditions. I derive great pleasure from establishing long-term relationships with patients throughout their cancer journey. When not at work, I enjoy cooking, running with my dog, Lucy, and spending time with my husband and sons.

I specialize in gynecologic oncology, which includes the surgical management and chemotherapy of women with ovarian, uterine, cervical, vaginal and vulvar cancer, as well as patients with gestational trophoblastic disease. I also care for women who have a genetic predisposition for gynecologic cancers, such as an inherited BRCA mutation, and I can offer preventative surgery and surveillance. The diagnosis and treatment of cancer is an extremely challenging time for patients, as well as their family and friends. I am committed to providing individualized, compassionate, and holistic care as I help to navigate patients through diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. I am extensively trained in minimally invasive surgical approaches using laparoscopic and robotic platforms, and I am committed to offering innovating treatment options including clinical trials. Caring for women with gynecologic cancer is a privilege, and I cherish the relationships I form with my patients and their families.

I am a medical oncologist who primarily focuses on treating breast cancer. I’ve been at Duke Raleigh since 2007, and I also serve as the hospital’s chief medical officer. My favorite part of my job is the initial patient visit. It’s not unusual for patients to arrive for their appointment feeling fearful and anxious. I enjoy making them feel more comfortable and at ease with their diagnosis and treatment plan by the end of the visit. To further build that bond and trust, I encourage my patients to have full access to me, even on weekends or holidays, so I can help guide their treatment. I decided to become a doctor when I was 18 years old and heading to college. I felt that I would be passionate about taking care of people and my intuition turned out to be right. I am married to a physician and my oldest son is a medical school graduate, so medicine is now firmly in my family’s blood.

I am a medical oncologist who focuses on bone and soft tissue cancers called sarcomas. I love spending time with my patients. They often have a sense of awareness about their condition that’s truly unique and rewarding. I partner with each patient so they know the full set of options available for treatment and can make an informed decision about the approach that is best for them. I’ve wanted to pursue medicine for as long as I can remember. I find cancer fascinating because of its ability to evade the immune system. The body fails to recognize cancer as being foreign. When I am not at work, I love spending time with my family and enjoy long distance running.

Being an obstetrician and gynecologist allows me the privilege of caring for patients across the full spectrum of women’s health, from adolescence through the postmenopausal years. I find it incredibly rewarding to advocate for such a diverse group and support each patient through their unique health journey. I have a particular interest in minimally invasive procedures and robotic surgery, but I always make sure my patients are aware of all their options, both surgical and nonsurgical. I also enjoy guiding women through the many aspects of pregnancy, whether planning for pregnancy, managing pregnancy complications, or supporting those who have experienced pregnancy loss. My approach to care is to create a space where patients feel comfortable discussing sensitive health concerns and to build relationships grounded in trust and understanding.
