Hi, my name is Doug Nelson. I'm a medical oncologist with Norton Cancer Institute, specializing in gastrointestinal oncology. As a specialist in gastrointestinal medical oncology, I treat cancers that arise from the GI tract. That includes anything from esophagus down to stomach, small bowel, large bowel, rectum, colon, and also the hepatobiliary cancers, including liver, bile duct, gallbladder, and pancreas.

As a specialist in gastrointestinal cancers of the GI tract and hepatobiliary system, I work with other specialists, especially with radiation oncologists and with surgeons, because the care of patients with these types of cancers is usually multidisciplinary and requires close collaboration so that we can come up with the best individualized treatment plan for each patient.

I have a strong interest in trying to help folks. I have been both a hematologist and oncologist for a number of years and decided that I really wanted to focus on gastrointestinal cancers. I find that it's an area where I can really provide a lot of support for patients, help them overcome their cancers, deal with their cancers in the best way possible, and something that really provides a lot of rewards for me in terms of trying to help them in the best way that I can. For fun, I like to spend time with family. I enjoy running, tennis, and now, I'm going to be enjoying learning the Louisville area and learning about all the interesting things to do in Kentucky.
