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.

Like many people during the pandemic, Nikoa Dean’s annual mammogram was canceled. It was when she felt a pain in her chest months later that led to the discovery of stage 0 breast cancer. Dean decided to have a double mastectomy. Instead of having implants, she chose to have a reconstructive surgery called deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap, which Mihaela-Elena Rapolti, M.D., MBA, FACS, specializes in. Dr. Rapolti is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and a member of the Breast Cancer Multidisciplinary Team at Karmanos. She joined Dean for an interview on Local 4, where they described Dean’s case and the breast reconstructive options breast cancer survivors have.
