الأبحاث
Mayo Clinic breast cancer surgeons regularly participate in research activities designed to improve care for people with breast cancer.
Some areas of research include:
- Personalizing breast cancer treatments. Researchers are working on the latest treatments that take into account your genes and the particular genes of your cancer cells to offer precision medicine for breast cancer. Examples include discovering new biomarkers for targeted therapy and developing vaccines to prevent breast cancer from coming back.
- Relieving pain after mastectomy. Pain control techniques before, during and after mastectomy can reduce the need for strong pain medicines during recovery.
- Understanding how breast cancer develops. Researchers are working to understand the conditions under which breast cancer begins to develop. Research has focused on the unique microorganisms present within the breast, sometimes called the breast microbiome. This research may provide information that can help prevent breast cancer or find the most effective treatments.
