Research

Peripheral nerve tumor researchers

Mayo Clinic researchers discuss nerve sheath tumors.

Mayo Clinic researchers have a long tradition of studying new ways of diagnosing and treating peripheral nerve disorders, including tumors.

Researchers from many areas work to improve diagnosis and treatment for people with peripheral nerve disorders and peripheral nerve tumors. Those areas include neurology, neurosurgery, medical genetics, laboratory medicine and pathology, along with other areas.

These researchers have:

  • Identified a new syndrome.
  • Identified specific gene changes implicated in a type of peripheral nerve tumor.
  • Identified the mechanism for and treatment of intraneural ganglion cysts.
  • Proved that cancers can spread along peripheral nerves.
  • Proved that noninvasive imaging techniques such as PET-MRI can distinguish a benign tumor from a cancerous one. This means that malignancies can be identified without the need for surgery.

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.
