Mayo Clinic has been coordinating and participating in several trials for drugs designed to stop the growth of plexiform and paraspinal neurofibromas. These clinical trials are available both for children and adults with NF1.
Specialists from medical genetics, neuro-oncology, neurosurgery and radiology are continually involved in cross-disciplinary research to broaden and deepen the understanding of NF1 to increase and improve treatment options and try to find a cure.
See a list of publications by Mayo Clinic doctors on NF1 on PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine.
