Dr. Tucker W. Coston
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 top areas of expertise are Methemoglobinemia, Neuroendocrine Tumor, Lymphofollicular Hyperplasia, Lynch Syndrome, and Tissue Biopsy.
His clinical research consists of co-authoring 8 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
