As a leader in cancer research, Karmanos is able to offer patients access to innovative treatments and clinical trials that are often times not available anywhere else.
To offer hope and longer life to patients with all types of cancer, Karmanos offers the latest types of therapy through our clinical trials program. Through clinical trials, we are creating new knowledge about how therapies fight cancer and provide national leadership in testing these new therapies.
We understand that cancer is a complex disease that demands complex care. We provide each patient with a dynamic, carefully constructed treatment plan focused on their specific cancer and their unique needs.
We listen to you to design a plan that provides you with respect, compassionate care and is responsive to your emotional and practical concerns.

Eric Brown, M.D., FACS, explains the breast cancer risk-assessment program that Karmanos has implemented at the Women’s Wellness Clinic. Dr. Brown is a breast surgeon and the Breast Cancer Multidisciplinary Team co-leader. The assessment is given to patients receiving screening mammograms. In return, they and their primary care physician receive information on their individual risk of developing breast, colon and lung cancers. Based on that information, patients may be encouraged to follow up with additional screenings and prevention services and receive prevention care through the high-risk breast cancer program or genetic testing. Dr. Brown explains why it is critical to know this information before a possible cancer diagnosis. Plus, he explains how even though this assessment is given to women, it can help understand the risks of the men in their families when it comes to male breast cancer.
