Mayo Clinic researchers have contributed to the understanding and treatment of sclerosing mesenteritis (SM). Mayo studies suggest that symptomatic patients can benefit from a combination of two drugs, tamoxifen and prednisone. Long-term follow-up is needed to confirm this finding.
Mayo Clinic researchers are conducting the largest study of sclerosing mesenteritis patients to date. They are reviewing the records of all SM patients seen at Mayo to learn about the disease's clinical features and the effectiveness of treatments.
