Maria Parham Health is proud to announce the addition of Dr. Ryan Fecteau, MD, PhD, as the newest Radiation Oncologist at the Maria Parham Cancer Center. Dr. Fecteau brings extensive clinical training and a patient-centered philosophy to the Cancer Center, where he will specialize in the treatment of genitourinary cancers, including prostate and bladder cancer.

Dr. Fecteau earned both his MD (2017) and PhD (2015) from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Ohio. He completed his residency training in Radiation Oncology at two of the nation's most prestigious institutions: New York Presbyterian (2018–2021) and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (2021–2022) in New York City.

With a deep clinical interest in research and innovation, Dr. Fecteau has been actively involved in national clinical trials such as:

• NRG-GU008 – Prostate Cancer (IRB# PRO00112257, NCT# NCT04134260)

• NRG-GU010 – Guidance for Prostate Cancer (IRB# PRO00113621, NCT# NCT05050084)

• NRG-GU012 – Renal Cell Carcinoma (IRB# PRO00117320, NCT# NCT05327686)

Dr. Fecteau says his motivation for pursuing radiation oncology stems from the opportunity to use cutting-edge technology to both cure cancer and improve patients' quality of life.

“When I meet someone for a consult, I like to gain an understanding of who they are and where they are coming from so that we can come up with a management plan that aligns with their values,” said Dr. Fecteau. “I believe one of the most important aspects of my job is education — ensuring that every patient fully understands the treatment options available so they can feel confident about their decisions.”

Outside of his clinical practice, Dr. Fecteau enjoys spending time with his family, cooking, traveling, watching Clemson football, and exploring the Durham food scene.

"Dr. Fecteau’s exceptional training, compassionate approach, and commitment to innovation make him an outstanding addition to our team," said Bert Beard, CEO of Maria Parham Health. "His arrival enhances our ability to provide advanced, patient-centered cancer care right here in Henderson, and we are excited to welcome him to our community."

Patients can schedule consultations with Dr. Fecteau by contacting the Maria Parham Cancer Center directly.
