Dr. Paul Koffer
Overview
I am a radiation oncologist specializing in genitourinary malignancies including prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancer. I have a special interest in using short course, high dose and precision radiotherapy known as Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for the treatment of cancers. I chose to be a radiation oncologist because I believe in the amazing ability of radiotherapy to not only treat cancer, but also to maintain and improve a patient's quality of life. I love to cook and eat delicious food and to spend time with my wonderful family.

Duke Cancer Center
I'm a radiation oncologist, and I specialize in treating brain, base of skull and spine tumors, as well as tumors that arise in the body but go to the brain or the spine, as in certain cases of lung, breast and kidney cancer and melanoma. When I meet with a patient, it’s important for me to introduce them and their family to our team of doctors, therapists, nurses and treatment planners. The patient and their family will also become members of this team – truly the most important part - so we can work together to tailor care based on their wants and needs. At Duke, we’ve developed techniques to precisely and accurately treat small, complex lesions and tumors. We can minimize the amount of radiation that goes into normal tissues and at the same time maximize the amount of radiation where it is needed. Our team is geared to delivering every treatment to each patient exactly as planned, especially in complicated and difficult situations. As a patient or a physician, I think there’s no better place to be than Duke. I love my work, feel honored that my patients place their trust in our team and me and work hard to earn that trust. Dr. Kirkpatrick is highly rated in 41 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Brain Tumor, Meningioma, Glioma, Astrocytoma, and Gamma Knife Radiosurgery.
