SUPPORTING CANCER RESEARCH
Partners 2021, will support the work of a multidisciplinary team of applied, clinical, and basic scientists focused on addressing racial healthcare disparities associated with lung cancer and response to treatment with immunotherapy.
This comprehensive initiative will assess how immunotherapy differentially affects African American and White lung cancer patients and the extent to which there are differential biological, psychological and social drivers by race of treatment response.
This research has the potential to identify race-specific factors that could be used to drive treatment decision-making and clinical follow-up to limit immune-related adverse events (irAEs), identify novel targets to limit irAEs and identify areas of patient need, to ultimately reduce racial disparities in lung cancer outcomes.

ABOUT THE PARTNERS
The Partners group was the original vision of Anna and Harry Korman, in memory of their late daughter, Suzanne, who died of cancer at the age of 36. The Kormans established the committee as a way to engage young people in raising money for cancer research, knowing that research would lead to advancements in treatment options and earlier detection methods. To this day a group of hands-on volunteers, established as the Partners Committee, continue the Kormans' legacy. The Partners are united in the fight against cancer and dedicated to solely raising funds for research at Karmanos Cancer Institute through their annual fundraiser, known as the Annual Partners Night.
