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.
The Conversation
While studying chemical reactions for possible use in medication to fight prostate cancer, Frank Cackowski, M.D., Ph.D., medical oncologist, member of the Genitourinary Oncology Multidisciplinary Team, member of the Molecular Therapeutics Research Program at Karmanos, and assistant professor in the Department of Oncology at Wayne State University School of Medicine, and Steven Zielske, Ph.D., research scientist in the Department of Oncology at WSU, began looking into a link between a molecule and the chemical reaction they were exploring. Drs. Cackowski and Zielske described that a 2018 paper indicated that this particular molecule would react with the chemical reaction, but after experimenting to confirm, there wasn’t a link. This article explored how fake peer-reviewed papers may slow the research discovery process.
