Cancer Research and Treatment at Karmanos Cancer Center
|
Detroit, Michigan - Nurse practitioner Sarah Jacob listens to Pat Lancaster's lungs with a stethoscope, as research nurse Susan Newell reviews her notes. Lancaster is participating in 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.
