Dr. Stephen J. Tremont

I study disorders of the bone marrow and bone marrow failure syndromes. I also see some leukemias and lymphomas and other blood malignancies. Duke offers a very personalized, individualized level of care to each patient. Nobody is the same, so we take the whole patient, we listen to them, and we offer our best recommendations for treatment options. We offer some of the latest treatment options that are available, usually in the setting of a clinical trial. If not, we offer the latest advancement in the field. When I was going through medical school, molecular biology was the new field. Everything was being described as a new cancer-causing gene. And to me that was so appealing – we’re going to figure out what causes cancer and new ways to treat it. That’s what really brought me into the hematology oncology world – things were being discovered that were new and exciting and hopefully would lead to new treatment options. Duke offers an extremely high standard of care. Though we’re not always successful and the disease sometimes wins, our goal is to give the patients the best possible care.

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.
