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.
WWJ
Tenia Brim is a five-year colon cancer survivor. She shares her story during WWJ’s Eye on Health segment, detailing months of symptoms and misdiagnoses. She was finally diagnosed with cancer and decided to have surgery to remove the tumor. When she moved back to Michigan, she learned the cancer had spread and advanced to stage IV. Because of Brim’s tumor genetic makeup, her new medical oncologist, Najeeb Al Hallak, M.D., MS, member of the Gastrointestinal and Neuroendocrine Oncology and Phase 1 Clinical Trials Multidisciplinary Teams at Karmanos Cancer Institute, explained a clinical trial that uses immunotherapy to prompt her immune cells to fight cancer. Brim decided to participate in the trial. Her treatment was successful and there is no sign of cancer.
