Radiation Oncology in Minnesota

Specialty Groups

At Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, radiation oncologists work with doctors in other specialties to design an individualized course of treatment appropriate for your cancer.

Teams of specialists are organized based on the location of the cancer. Board-certified radiation oncologists are members of each disease site team:

• Bone marrow or stem cell transplant
• Breast
• Cardiovascular
• Central nervous system (brain, neurological)
• Endocrine (thyroid)
• Gastrointestinal (anus, colon, rectum, esophagus, hepatobiliary, pancreas, stomach)
• Genitourinary (bladder, kidney, prostate, testis, penis)
• Gynecologic (cervix, ovary, uterus, vulva, vagina)
• Head and neck
• Lung
• Lymphoma, leukemia
• Melanoma, other skin cancers
• Ophthalmology (orbital tumors, ocular melanoma)
• Sarcoma (bone, soft tissue)

Each disease site team is independent, but all teams work together to develop diagnostic and treatment algorithms (step-by-step procedures), and guidelines for patient evaluation and care.
