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.

Charlene Zezawa was diagnosed with stage IV esophageal cancer that had spread to surrounding lymph nodes and her liver. Though she was on a treatment already, she wanted to make sure she was on the right path. So, her sister called 1-800-KARMANOS to set up a second opinion appointment. She joined Najeeb Al Hallak, M.D., MS, medical oncologist and co-leader of the Gastrointestinal and Neuroendocrine Oncology Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) and a member of the Phase I Clinical Trials MDT at Karmanos, on WDIV’s Live in the D to tell her experience. Zezawa said it's easy and quick to get a second opinion at Karmanos.
