its use in treating abdominal cancers- .
With PDT, a photosensitizing drug
is injected into patients and picked
up only by cancerous cells. After
exposure to a laser, the drug stimu-
lates the destruction of the cancerous.
tissue. "It has several advantages for
patients — it doesn't involve surgery
and it has few side effects. The main
one is temporary sensitivity to bright
light," says Pass.
He is optimistic about other lung
cancer treatments under study, such
as chemoprevention and retinoic acid.
Pass headed the thoracic oncology
section and was senior investigator of
the surgery branch of the National
Cancer Institute since 1986.
Originally from Baltimore, he came
to Detroit about 18 months ago.
It was his appointment to the
Lung Cancer Advisory Board for
Michigan that led to the partner-
ship with ACCESS.
"I met Adnam Haddad, the med-
ical director of ACCESS, and he
was very receptive ro the idea of a
pilot screening program." Pass says
almost 60 patients already were
scheduled before the program's start
in late May. "My goal is to screen
400 to 500 patients at ACCESS by
October," Pass says. Each screening
is expected to take one hour.
He adds, The issue of religion has
never come up and I applaud the
open-mindedness of the Arabic com-
munity in sponsoring a program like
this."
Pass attends services at Temple
Beth Emeth in Ann Arbor with his
wife, Dr. Helen Pass, director of the
Breast Cancer Center at University of
Michigan Medical Center, and their
4-year-old twins.
