Overview

I specialize in helping women with breast cancer. Being diagnosed with cancer is a life-altering experience that can affect every aspect of one’s life. I decided to become a radiation oncologist because of the privilege it is to care for patients in an incredibly challenging time in their lives. My approach to patient care is to spend a lot of time getting to know patients and learning about their lives and values. I also spend a lot of time behind the scenes carefully evaluating their tests and working with my colleagues in medical oncology and surgical oncology to develop recommendations for the best treatment plan. Working as a team, we are able to help cure patients through combined multimodality treatments or help ease their symptoms.

Dr. Mcduff is highly rated in 3 conditions, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are Breast Cancer, Angiosarcoma, Intraductal Papilloma, and Breast Cancer in Men.

Her clinical research consists of co-authoring 25 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.

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.
