-
Precision medicine
Precision medicine works to find targeted treatments custom-fit for each person by analyzing a patient’s genetics, lifestyle factors, tumor tissue and more. This information is then used to create a personalized tumor profile and design a treatment plan.
Our experts are pioneering this latest technology in personalized care, including the use of theranostics. Henry Ford partnered with BAMF Health to bring its second theragnostic center to Detroit, which is expected to open in 2027.
-
Clinical trials
Clinical trials allow patients to access treatment that is not yet available to the general public. This research allows our experts to test new methods of diagnosing and treating cancer and offers patients the chance to help advance cancer research and treatment for future patients.
Every study has guidelines about who can participate. There are many factors that may be taken into account, including type of disease, age, and gender. The U.S. National Institutes of Health also maintains a current list of national clinical trials online.
