Research

Researchers discuss a bile duct cancer project Bile duct cancer researchers

Doctors and scientists work together to develop new options for people with bile duct cancer.

Researchers at Mayo Clinic are studying new ways to diagnose and treat cholangiocarcinoma. This research is conducted as part of the Gastrointestinal Cancer Program and in coordination with Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center receives funding from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center — recognition for an institution's scientific excellence and multidisciplinary resources focused on cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

Areas of research include:

  • Studying the association of aspirin and statin medications with a reduced risk of cholangiocarcinoma
  • Investigating the molecular genetics of a tumor and identifying biomarkers, which may aid in early diagnosis or lead to new targeted therapies
  • Doing clinical trials for new targeted therapies, which is possible because of Mayo Clinic's high patient volume for primary sclerosing cholangitis and bile duct cancer
  • Improving safety of procedures and developing new ones
  • Proving that the biomarker CA 19-9 is useful for staging cholangiocarcinoma and understanding the prognosis for people with the disease

Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer)

Research: It's all about patients

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Joseph Sirven, M.D., Professor of Neurology, Mayo Clinic: Mayo's mission is about the patient. The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
