Glioma

Research

Mayo Clinic Cancer Center is one of only four cancer centers to receive a National Cancer Institute-sponsored Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) grant for brain cancer research.

The Neuro-Oncology research program at Mayo comprises research and clinical application into the various types of adult and child gliomas, medulloblastoma, and primary central nervous system lymphoma. This research is accomplished through the cooperative efforts of multi-disciplinary team members across the institution.

Mayo Clinic participates in numerous clinical trials for brain and nervous system tumors, include trials originating at Mayo Clinic and those sponsored by the National Cancer Institute through the North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG).
