Cancer research is multifaceted and often interrelated. Laboratory-based research studies cancer cells and their biological mechanisms to better understand the origin and growth of cancer. Translational research involves finding ways to apply laboratory discoveries to improve patient care. Population science studies large groups of individuals to find patterns within specific cancers that allow researchers to determine ways to prevent, detect and control those cancers.
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center is actively involved in all areas of cancer research. The center's experienced scientists, physicians and clinical researchers investigate all aspects of cancer. Their goal is to find new, improved ways to care for cancer patients.
