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.
Howard Katz is a nine-year survivor of Stage IV pancreatic cancer. Diagnosed at his community hospital, Katz received a poor prognosis, given the three percent five-year survival rate for those with his condition. Unwilling to accept his fate, he sought treatment at Karmanos Cancer Institute and credits the life-saving clinical expertise and innovative treatments pioneered at centers designated by the National Cancer Institute like Karmanos and the continuous emotional support provided by the Karmanos family as the reasons he’s alive today. This story is a part of Authority Magazine’s new series called “I Survived Cancer and Here Is How I Did It.”
