Gastric Cancer

Treatment in Minnesota

Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has the largest gastroenterology practice in the United States.

People with gastric cancer who come to Mayo Clinic for treatment receive comprehensive diagnosis and compassionate care. An experienced team of health care professionals provide detailed answers to questions, educational materials, follow-up recommendations and genetic testing. The extraordinary volume of people with cancer seen by Mayo Clinic allows for outstanding outcomes.

The opening of the Gonda Building in 2002 enabled Mayo Clinic to cluster services for people with cancer under one roof. As a result, people can see a gastroenterologist, a surgeon, a medical oncologist and a radiation oncologist, as well as undergo diagnostic procedures on the same floor on the same day. In many cases, surgery can be scheduled for the day after diagnosis.

Treatment Team

People with gastric cancer are treated by specialists from the Division of Gastroenterologic and General Surgery, Radiation Oncology, Medical Oncology, Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, and Medical Genetics. The large number of people seen at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota helps the staff maintain a high degree of skill in evaluating and treating cancer.
