Kristen L. Roman, PA
Overview
I graduated as Physician Assistant from Barry University in Miami, but I was lucky to do my training in one of the most beautiful places in the United States, the US Virgin Islands. After finishing my training in the USVI, I gained experience working for M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Initially, I started my career working in Palliative Care Medicine, which gave me a strong foundation for how to manage the various symptoms experienced by cancer patients. Then, I transitioned to the Melanoma Medical Oncology department where I learned how to treat and manage patients undergoing immunotherapy and chemotherapy for their metastatic disease. After many years away from my hometown of Greensboro, I felt like it was time to move back to greener lands with my pup to be closer to family. With my oncology experience, I am hoping to bring patients comfort and compassionate care while they are undergoing treatment for their metastatic genitourinary cancer.

Duke Cancer Center
I specialize in treating people with genitourinary (GU) cancers, such as bladder, prostate, testicular and kidney cancer. I don’t treat other types of cancer across the breadth of tumors like some oncologists in the community may, such as blood cancer, breast cancer or lung cancer. My focus has allowed me to gain deep expertise in GU cancers and to stay abreast of the newest treatment advances, clinical research and so on for those specific GU cancers. As a medical oncologist, I meet patients at one of the scariest moments of their lives. I try to help educate them to make a decision about their disease and its process, and what their treatment options may be, so we can come to a shared decision about what might be the best option. The teaching aspect really strikes home for me. Both of my parents are teachers. The root word for “doctor” in Latin means “to teach.” So that is something I’m both naturally called to do and enjoy doing.
