Nebraska Cancer Specialists

Luke T. Nordquist, M.D., F.A.C.P.

I care for people with all types of cancers and benign blood disorders, although I have particular interest in the treatment and research of genitourinary cancers involving the prostate, kidney, bladder and testicles. Having lost my father to cancer, I take the fight against cancer personally. I focus on educating my patients about their cancer and discussing treatment options available, including expected toxicities and outcome. I strive to deliver the most advanced and effective treatment with the least toxicity. Another important aspect of my job is speaking to the public and healthcare professionals about progress in cancer treatment and research.
