The University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center is one of 12 sites to join Precision Promise, the first large-scale precision medicine trial designed to transform outcomes for patients with pancreatic cancer.
The technique could one day help screen potential cancer treatments based on an individual patient's tumor and help researchers better understand cancer stem cells.
For many people, a spiritual or religious foundation is an essential component of well-being. When facing a cancer diagnosis and treatment decisions, that foundation is sometimes tested, requiring spiritual care to avoid adding to the level of distress for patients and families. However, anyone interested in reinforcing their spiritual health will find the staff of the Michigan Medicine's Spiritual Care Department ready to support them.
