Overview
I am a medical oncologist specializing in genitourinary cancers, including prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancer. I primarily see patients at Duke Cancer Centers in Cary and Raleigh, where I focus on providing comprehensive, patient-centered care. Growing up in eastern North Carolina and having lived most of my adult life in the Triangle area, I am deeply connected to the North Carolina community. My approach centers on treating each patient with a focus on their needs and a positive outlook, emphasizing both effective treatment and maintaining a high quality of life. I prioritize having access to the most updated treatment options, enrolling patients in clinical trials, and ensuring they have a strong understanding of their diagnosis and management options. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and attending sporting events with my wife and our two little boys.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
Duke Cancer Center
When someone is faced with a diagnosis of lung cancer, they may be going through surgery, radiation treatment, chemotherapy or enrolling in a clinical trial. It’s a very complicated process to understand what’s involved and what may happen next. It’s also hard to hear all the answers if you’re by yourself. We encourage our patients to come with family members and friends and loved ones and particularly to identify one or two main go-to people in terms of care-giving and support. That way we can engage them in the whole process. Just as we have a team taking care of the patient, the patient has a team, too. At Duke, we have the opportunity to engage patients in the very latest treatment approaches, whether it’s a new surgical technique, the latest radiation approach, or some novel chemotherapy, immunology, or targeted therapy, several of which we’ve been developing. Duke provides patients with a real opportunity that they may not have elsewhere. Dr. Crawford is highly rated in 26 conditions, according to our data.
