Enfoque de Mayo Clinic

Teamwork

At Mayo Clinic, a healthcare team works together to provide exactly the treatment and care you need for your specific condition. The team includes radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, neuro-oncologists, neurologists, medical oncologists and pathologists. Other professionals are included as needed.

Experience

Mayo Clinic doctors have extensive experience using stereotactic radiosurgery for tumors and other conditions of the brain and other parts of the body. Each year, around 3,000 people undergo brain stereotactic radiosurgery at Mayo Clinic.

Advanced planning technology

Mayo Clinic doctors have access to the latest imaging technology to help with treatment planning. Doctors use CT, MRI and other advanced imaging to create a plan for treatment that targets the affected area and spares the nearby healthy tissue.

Proton beam therapy

Mayo Clinic's campus in Arizona and Mayo Clinic's campus in Minnesota have a proton beam therapy facility, dedicated to providing the latest SRS technology. Mayo Clinic's Proton Beam Therapy Program is the only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center with a multisite presence, with locations in Arizona and Minnesota.

The program features intensity-modulated proton beam therapy using pencil beam scanning. The pencil beam conforms more closely to the tumor, better sparing surrounding healthy tissue from harm — plus, it typically offers shorter treatment times and reduced side effects.
