James Cancer Network widens access to Ohio State care | OSUCCC – James

When Tracy Keller began inexplicably losing weight, he sought treatment from his primary care physician close to his family’s farm in Camden, Ohio, near the Indiana border. Doctors detected a problem in Tracy’s bladder, and eventually he was diagnosed with bladder cancer and referred to Dayton Physicians Network, which has offices about 40 minutes from Tracy’s farm. Dayton Physicians is part of the James Cancer Network, a group of health care providers that work together to help patients across Ohio get care close to home while also having access to the cancer specialists at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James). This partnership gave Tracy the opportunity to receive much of his care at Dayton Physicians, but also have surgery to remove and reconstruct his bladder at The James. “I just had such a good experience, excellent care and friendly people,” Tracy says of the surgery, which urologist Kamal S. Pohar, MD, performed at tThe OSUCCC – James James in July 2023. “I don't think you're going to get any better care and advice on cancer than you would at The James.” The James Cancer Network was created to make it easier for patients to access the expertise of the country’s third-largest cancer hospital. Since 2014, it has grown to encompass eight seven affiliates ed health care providers across Ohio: Dayton Physicians Network, Dayton Madison Health, London Memorial Health, Marysville Mercy Health – Lorain Cancer Center, Elyria Mercy Health – Springfield Regional Medical Center, Springfield Mercy Health – St. Rita’s Medical Center, Lima Mount Carmel Health System – Grove City Wooster Community Hospital & Bloomington Medical Group How patients benefit from the partnership Patients like Tracy benefit from the network in many ways. In addition to receiving pre-surgery care near his home, Tracy’shis follow-up visits could also be done with Dayton Physicians, with Dr. Pohar reviewing his results from Columbus. “The number of follow-up visits can be limited, because the majority of the cancer care can be done locally, which is far more convenient for Mr. Keller and his family,” Dr. Pohar says. “I think that’s another beauty of the James Cancer Network.” But the program provides benefits beyond referrals. The network provides local cancer programs with continuing education for providers and staff, patient education resources, access to clinical research and support programs for patients. “It's very professionally satisfying to have that resource to turn to and then to know that you are bringing the best possible treatment options to each and every patient that you see,” says Charles Bane, MD, a medical oncologist with Dayton Physicians who treated Tracy. “And being part of this network really helps to make that possible day to day, one patient at a time.” Throughout his cancer treatment, Tracy was focused on getting back to running the 215-acre farm his parents purchased when he was 9 years old in 1963. He’s run the farm for 35 years, growing corn and soybeans, and helping his two grandchildren raise livestock to show at the Preble County Fair in earlyevery August. Over the years, it wasn’t uncommon for Tracy to work 16-hour days. When his surgery was postponed until late July 2023, he was concerned that he might have to miss the fair, and with it the fruits of the work his 18-year-old grandson and 12-year-old granddaughter had done to raise pigs through the spring and summer. “Dr. Pohar said I should expect to be in the hospital possibly for two weeks, but I actually got out six days after my surgery,” Tracy says. “I got home the first day of the fair, so I was able to video chat the kids during the fair while I was home. That was a big deal to me. “It's a little different lifestyle now, but I feel good. I'm able to do everything I want to do, so I'm going to have that new lease on life to enjoy my family and my grandkids. And so I'm doing really well.” Click here to learn more about The James Cancer Network: https://go.osu.edu/CnWh Learn more about cancer care and research at The Ohio State University: Home: https://cancer.osu.edu Blog: https://cancer.osu.edu/blog News: https://cancer.osu.edu/news Follow The James on social media: Facebook:   / osucccjames   Twitter:   / osuccc_james   Instagram:   / osuccc_james
