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.

Dionne Pierce has been courageously triumphing over her breast cancer for eight months. As the lead patient navigator at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, she knew exactly what to do when she found a lump during a self-exam. When she received the shocking diagnosis, she sprang into action, building her breast cancer care team: Eric Brown, M.D., FACS, breast surgeon and co-leader of the Breast Cancer Multidisciplinary Team (MDT), Michael Meininger, M.D., plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Lawrence Flahety, M.D., medical oncologist, and Jordan Maier, M.D., radiation oncologist. Now, she has a different perspective as she helps other cancer patients traverse their way through treatment. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, she joined Dr. Brown for an interview on Local 4 to share her cancer journey.
