Cancer Research and Treatment at Karmanos Cancer Center
|
Detroit, Michigan - Oncology technician Tyletta Sullivan starts an IV so that chemotherapy can be administered to Pat Lancaster. Lancaster is undergoing chemotherapy as part of a clinical trial of a new treatment plan for patients with ovarian cancer at the Karmanos Cancer Center. The treatment involves administering an additional course of chemotherapy after the patient appears cancer-free. The research is sponsored by the Gynecologic Oncology Group, a nonprofit organization supported by the National Institutes for Health. Sullivan keeps her head shaved in solidarity with her patients.
