Gallbladder Cancer

Research

Mayo Clinic doctors and scientists are working to find ways to detect gallbladder cancer earlier, for better outcomes in patients who are at risk. Currently, Mayo Clinic researchers are either planning or actively investigating:

• New tests to diagnose gallbladder cancers early
• New kinds of chemotherapy drugs
• New ways to help treat symptoms in patients who cannot benefit from surgery or chemotherapy

Mayo Clinic participates in cooperative clinical trials networks, including the North Central Cancer Treatment Group. The Mayo Clinic Cancer Center (MCCC) receives funding from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is designated as a comprehensive cancer center — recognition of an institution's scientific excellence and multidisciplinary resources focused on cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
