Overview
I specialize in treating cancers of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and associated organs, delivering the medical oncology care. This often involves discussions of new cancer diagnoses, coordinating the necessary initial work-up, involvement of other cancer specialists if necessary (including radiation oncologists, surgeons, etc.). My other primary role as the medical oncologist is delivery of the medications to treat cancer, whether that be IV chemotherapy, oral chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or other non-chemo cancer treatments. While I treat all cancers of the GI tract, I am the primary specialist at Duke Raleigh Cancer Center for treatment of neuroendocrine tumors (or NETs, as they are sometimes called). Additionally, with my practice spanning both Duke's main campus in Durham as well as Wake County, I have the opportunity to lead and enroll patients onto some clinical trials when these are available. This offers the unique opportunity for carefully selected patients to receive treatments that are being studied to improve the standard of care treatments available. My practice philosophy is to care for my patients with the quality and attention to detail as if they were my own family.
His clinical expertise encompasses Methemoglobinemia, Neuroendocrine Tumor, Lymphofollicular Hyperplasia, Lynch Syndrome, and Tissue Biopsy.
Dr. Coston is board certified in American Board Of Internal Med, Internal Medicine. He is actively involved in clinical research, co-authoring 8 peer reviewed articles. Dr. Coston is currently accepting new patients.

Duke Cancer Center
I am a part of the thoracic oncology program. I work with patients who have cancers of the lung, which includes non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, and mesothelioma. My focus is on clinical care, clinical trials, and developing new therapies for these diseases. When I first meet with a patient, I want them to understand what their diagnosis is, because there are actually multiple diagnoses of lung cancer and each are treated differently. Then I discuss with a patient whether they are a candidate for therapies such as molecular therapy or immunotherapy, and make sure they have a clear understanding of the treatment plan. There are some very promising new therapies for these diseases and we are fortunate to have those available to patients here at Duke. That’s one of the unique things we offer as an academic medical center. Dr. Stinchcombe is highly rated in 13 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), Lung Cancer, Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), EGFR Positive Lung Cancer, and Gamma Knife Radiosurgery.
