Dr. Cristiana Costa-Chase
Overview
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.

Duke Hematologic Malignancies 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.
