Overview
I specialize in treating people with genitourinary (GU) cancers, such as bladder, prostate, testicular and kidney cancer. I don’t treat other types of cancer across the breadth of tumors like some oncologists in the community may, such as blood cancer, breast cancer or lung cancer. My focus has allowed me to gain deep expertise in GU cancers and to stay abreast of the newest treatment advances, clinical research and so on for those specific GU cancers. As a medical oncologist, I meet patients at one of the scariest moments of their lives. I try to help educate them to make a decision about their disease and its process, and what their treatment options may be, so we can come to a shared decision about what might be the best option. The teaching aspect really strikes home for me. Both of my parents are teachers. The root word for “doctor” in Latin means “to teach.” So that is something I’m both naturally called to do and enjoy doing.

Dr. Harrison has provided the following conditions as areas of focus. Please note that we may not have enough data to validate their experience in some of these conditions.
Duke Cancer Center
I specialize in the care of patients with urologic cancers – mainly prostate cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer and testicular cancer. A cancer diagnosis is one of the scariest things that can happen to someone. For many of our patients, they don’t necessarily feel different or look different, but they are scared to death. The most important thing you can get from Duke is real understanding of your particular case and what your options are. Knowledge is so reassuring and empowering for patients, especially those recently diagnosed with cancer. When you’re first diagnosed, you have to put your trust in a care team, and that’s hard to do if you don’t already know them. As the largest cancer center in North Carolina, Duke has great reputation and experience, which helps many patients chose Duke for their care. But we grow and develop our trust with patients because of who we are as people and how much expertise and care we bring to each case. Dr. George is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in Prostatectomy. His top areas of expertise are Prostate Cancer, Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), Familial Prostate Cancer, Nephrectomy, and Orchiectomy.
Duke Cancer Center
I specialize in the care of people with genitourinary (GU) cancers, which includes cancer of the kidney, bladder, prostate, testicles, and penis. As medical oncology providers, my team and I use medications to treat cancer, like immunotherapy, pill therapies and chemotherapy. My team and I provide comprehensive cancer care, and we treat symptoms from cancer and/or the side effects from treatment. We work closely with surgeons, radiation oncologists, and other clinicians to provide the best and most individualized treatment strategy for each patient. A cancer diagnosis and everything that comes with it can be one of the most stressful events in someone’s life. I chose this specialty to support patients and their loved ones during these difficult times. I firmly believe in understanding the goals of my patients at the outset, constantly re-evaluating these goals, and working with patients to choose the course that most closely aligns with those goals.
