Research

Mayo Clinic doctors and scientists are studying ways to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of recurrent breast cancer.

Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center is one of a select group of facilities that received a Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) grant for breast cancer research from the U.S. National Cancer Institute.

Mayo Clinic doctors and researchers are studying emerging technologies and therapies for recurrent breast cancer, including:

  • CAR-T cell therapy, which reprograms the body's immune cells to help find and attack cancer cells.
  • Therapeutic breast cancer vaccines designed to help the immune system recognize and respond to breast cancer cells.
  • Radiotheranostics, which combines advanced imaging with targeted radiation treatments that use radiopharmaceuticals to deliver radiation more precisely to cancer cells.
  • Molecular profiling and biomarker testing to better understand the cancer and help guide personalized treatment decisions.
  • Blood-based testing, including circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing, to help monitor cancer activity and guide treatment planning over time.
  • New targeted therapies for hormone receptor positive, HER2-positive, HER2-low and triple-negative breast cancers.
  • Oral targeted medicines designed to treat cancers with specific genetic changes or resistance to prior treatments.
  • Immunotherapy approaches that help the immune system identify and attack cancer cells.
  • Combination treatment approaches that pair standard therapies with newer targeted or immune-based treatments.
  • Advanced imaging approaches, including specialized PET imaging, to help identify where recurrent cancer is active and guide treatment decisions.
  • Clinical trials for recurrent, metastatic and treatment-resistant breast cancer that may provide access to emerging therapies and new treatment approaches.

Recurrent breast 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.
