What might take months to accomplish elsewhere can often be completed in just days at Mayo Clinic.
Advanced diagnosis and treatment
Mayo Clinic specialists use the most advanced imaging and diagnostic tools available. There's a long tradition of Mayo scientists developing cutting-edge technologies that improve patient care. Specialists use the full range of genetic, imaging and vision tests to diagnose hemangioblastoma.
Experts in neurosurgery and radiation oncology have extensive experience treating hemangioblastoma using techniques such as microsurgery and stereotactic radiosurgery.
Mayo Clinic is among the highest-volume neurosurgical centers in the United States. It's not unusual for surgeons from several specialties to operate together to achieve the best possible outcome.
Research and innovation
Mayo Clinic researchers study new approaches to diagnosing and treating hemangioblastoma and von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. Current work includes refining surgical and radiosurgical techniques, improving imaging for early detection, and advancing targeted therapies such as belzutifan. Mayo's ongoing clinical trials and laboratory research help bring the latest scientific discoveries directly to patient care.
