      I am a medical oncologist who primarily treats patients with head and neck cancer and lung cancer. I also do clinical research trials. I believe that it’s important to provide all the available treatment options to the patients including clinical trials before we mutually agree on a treatment plan. My primary goal is to provide exceptional care to my patients as well as their families. My focus is compassionate patient care tailored to each individual patient. I am constantly inspired and motivated by my patients and families, and I am very excited to be part of Duke team. Outside of medicine, I like spending time with my husband and daughter, and outdoor activities. Dr. Karivedu is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Tongue Cancer.

      As a medical oncologist, I specialize in treating patients with head and neck cancers and lung cancers. I am passionate about patient education. I want to educate my patients about their treatment options and guide them through the cancer journey of diagnosis, treatment, and survival. Cancer diagnoses often leave patients feeling isolated and neglected, and I want them to feel empowered by the education I provide to make choices about their care. I often use humor to help my patients deal with fears and anxiety. After one of my patients told me she had not laughed since she had been told she had cancer, I knew humor was a necessity. I want to build a trusting relationship with my patients. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my English bulldog Rex, family, and friends. Dr. Stevenson is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Tongue Cancer. Her top areas of expertise are Pleuropulmonary Blastoma, Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Cervix, Cervical Cancer, and Lung Cancer.

      What is the definition of Tongue Cancer?

      Tongue (oral) cancer can occur in different areas of the oral cavity, such as on the surface of the tongue in the mouth, or at the base of the tongue in the throat. Causes of tongue cancer include tobacco and heavy alcohol use, a weakened immune system, infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) or a previous history of head and neck cancer. The risk of tongue cancer is higher in males. In time tongue cancers may spread to other areas of the mouth, head, and neck. Most oral cancers are squamous cell carcinomas.

      When should I see a Tongue Cancer doctor near Raleigh, NC?

      There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

      • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
      • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
      • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
      • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
      • You want a second opinion.  

      What should I consider when choosing a Tongue Cancer doctor near Raleigh, NC?

      It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

      How does MediFind rank Tongue Cancer doctors near Raleigh, NC?

      MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

      What types of insurance are accepted by Tongue Cancer doctors near Raleigh, NC?

      Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

      How can I book an appointment online with a Tongue Cancer doctor near Raleigh, NC?

      MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Tongue Cancer doctor search results page. 

      Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Tongue Cancer doctor?

      Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

      How can I prepare for my appointment with a Tongue Cancer doctor near Raleigh, NC?

      Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

      • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
      • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
      • Family history of disease 
      • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
      • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
      • List of questions and concerns 
      • Your insurance card 

      You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

      What questions should I ask my Tongue Cancer doctor?

      Here are some sample questions: 

      • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
      • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
      • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
      • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
      • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

      How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Tongue Cancer doctor may know about?

      MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

      MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

      Can I filter my search to show male or female Tongue Cancer doctors near Raleigh, NC?

      Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Tongue Cancer doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

      Can I filter my search to find a Tongue Cancer doctor that offers video calls?

      Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Tongue Cancer doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
