Research

Mayo Clinic scientists and researchers are studying new ways to diagnose and treat desmoid tumors.

One active area of investigation at Mayo Clinic is the use of percutaneous ablation techniques. Ablation therapy uses extreme heat (radiofrequency ablation) or cold (cryoablation) to kill tumor cells. In a procedure of this type, a doctor inserts a special probe through the skin and into the tumor.

Research: It's all about patients

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Joseph Sirven, M.D., Professor of Neurology, Mayo Clinic: Mayo's mission is about the patient. The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
