Carcinoid Tumors

Research

Mayo Clinic takes a broad approach to gastrointestinal cancer research in the hope that researchers can take advantage of the overlapping characteristics of various GI cancers to improve treatment outcomes. Carcinoid tumor research is part of Mayo's integrated approach to GI cancer projects, which are based in both the laboratory and clinics. To learn more about this research, see the Gastrointestinal Cancer Web page.
