Dr. Daniel P. Nussbaum
Overview
I specialize in treating patients with cancers and pre-cancerous lesions of the pancreas, liver, bile ducts, and stomach. I also take care of patients with cancers that have spread to the liver from other locations, such as colon and rectal cancers. When a patient comes to see me, it is often a very difficult time for them and their families, and it is my privilege to take the time to get to know them, develop the most effective possible treatment plan, and thoroughly discuss how we will move forward together. I work alongside an outstanding team of medical and radiation oncologists in order to tailor care specific to each patient’s individual needs and values. Our goal is not only to provide the most effective cancer treatment, often using minimally-invasive and robotic techniques, but also to focus on maintaining quality-of-life, understanding that each patient has his or her own goals and priorities. I originally came to Duke Health as a surgical resident over a decade ago and chose to return here to practice as a surgical oncologist because of the wonderful patient community and exceptional colleagues.
