Dr. Michael B. Rothberg
Overview
I am a urologic oncologist who specializes in the diagnosis and surgical management of genitourinary malignancies. I have a special interest in providing care for patients with prostate cancer but also provide care for patients with kidney and bladder cancers. I have extensive training in image-guided fusion prostate biopsy and employ this technique to ensure the most accurate cancer diagnosis possible. Many urological cancers do not require surgical intervention and can be safely managed with active surveillance. When treatment is necessary, I use minimally-invasive surgical approaches whenever possible to expedite recovery and optimize quality of life. These include focal therapy for prostate cancer as well as robotic surgical removal of the prostate, kidney, and bladder. I am a firm believer in the importance of patient education as this empowers my patients to make care decisions that align with their personal values. Listening to my patients and confirming their understanding of their cancer diagnosis ensures a clear line of communication and allows us to work together towards treatment.

Duke Cancer Center Genitourinary (GU) Clinic
I specialize in the care of patients with urologic cancers – mainly prostate cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer and testicular cancer. A cancer diagnosis is one of the scariest things that can happen to someone. For many of our patients, they don’t necessarily feel different or look different, but they are scared to death. The most important thing you can get from Duke is real understanding of your particular case and what your options are. Knowledge is so reassuring and empowering for patients, especially those recently diagnosed with cancer. When you’re first diagnosed, you have to put your trust in a care team, and that’s hard to do if you don’t already know them. As the largest cancer center in North Carolina, Duke has great reputation and experience, which helps many patients chose Duke for their care. But we grow and develop our trust with patients because of who we are as people and how much expertise and care we bring to each case.
