Thomas LeBlanc, MD, is a medical oncologist, palliative care physician, and patient experience researcher. His clinical practice focuses on the care of patients with hematologic malignancies, with a particular emphasis on myeloid conditions and acute leukemias, including acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and myeloproliferative neoplasms.

As founding Director of the Duke Cancer Patient Experience Research Program (CPEP), Dr. LeBlanc’s research investigates common issues faced by people with cancer, including issues of symptom burden, quality of life, psychological distress, prognostic understanding, and treatment decision-making. This work aims to improve patients' experiences living with serious illnesses like blood cancers, including the integration of specialist palliative care services to provide an extra layer of support along with their comprehensive cancer care.

Dr. LeBlanc’s work has led to his recognition as an "Inspirational Leader under 40" by the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM), "Fellow" status from the Academy in 2016, the 2018 international Clinical Impact award from the European Association for Palliative Care, and the AAHPM Early Career Investigator award in 2020. To date, Dr. LeBlanc has published over 150 Medline-indexed articles, and several chapters in prominent textbooks of oncology and palliative medicine.
