Rogel Cancer Center ranked best in Michigan for cancer care

The Rogel Cancer Center was 15th (tied with Siteman Cancer Center) in the nation for cancer care by US News and World Report "Best Hospitals" rankings for 2018-19, an honor that measures excellence in patient care. Michigan Medicine, the academic medical center of the University of Michigan, also had 10 surgical and medical specialties ranked in the nation’s top 10. The annual rankings placed Michigan Medicine No. 1 in Michigan.

Treatment Targets Tough Cancers by Bathing Tumors in Chemo

The biggest threat cancer poses happens when it spreads throughout the body -- and when it has spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity it's particularly tricky. Once these advanced cancers have entered that area, they’re notoriously difficult to treat. Surgery alone is rarely successful, and traditional chemotherapy yields limited results, but a treatment called HIPEC offers hope.

Michigan Medicine and the American Australian Asian Adrenal Alliance: International Collaboration to Study Adrenal Disorders

U-M is a leader in benign adrenal disorders which include primary aldosteronism (discovered by U-M endocrinologist Jerome Conn), hypercortisolism, and pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (excess production of adrenaline). For many years, there has been a desire to bring together a large network of institutions to work collaboratively to study adrenal disorders in a manner unable to be accomplished by single institutions or by using existing large national databases.

Reducing NOVA1 gene helps prevent tumor growth in most common type of lung cancer

Researchers have identified a gene that when inhibited or reduced, in turn, reduced or prevented human non-small cell lung cancer tumors from growing. When mice were injected with non-small cell lung cancer cells that contained the gene NOVA1, three of four mice formed tumors. When the mice were injected with cancer cells without NOVA1, three of four mice remained tumor-free.

Rogel Cancer Center awarded $33.4M from NCI

The National Cancer Institute has awarded the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center a grant worth $33.4 million over five years. At the same time, the center’s designation as a “comprehensive cancer center” was renewed.

Curing breast cancer but at what cost? Patients report heavy financial toll

A new study finds many breast cancer patients are concerned about the financial impact of their diagnosis and treatment, and that they feel their doctor’s offices are not helping with these concerns.

Lung Cancer Screening Decisions Personalized

New research shows how to personalize the lung cancer screening decision for every patient. The results could help doctors fine-tune their advice to patients so that it’s based not only on a patient’s individual lung cancer risk and the potential benefits and harms of screening, but also the patient’s attitude about looking for problems and dealing with the consequences

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

Used with surgery, this treatment targets abdominal cancers that have spread into the abdomen. Contact 734-647-8902 to arrange for a consult.

The biggest threat cancer poses happens when it spreads throughout the body. One particularly tricky spot is cancer that’s spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum and/or peritoneal cavity). These advanced cancers are notoriously difficult to treat. Surgery alone is rarely successful, and traditional chemotherapy yields limited results.
