Investigación

Los médicos y los investigadores de Mayo Clinic que se dedican a la investigación del cáncer gastrointestinal y a la investigación en gastroenterología y hepatología estudian maneras nuevas de prevenir, diagnosticar y tratar el cáncer de colon.

Mayo Clinic también lleva un Registro de Familias con Cáncer de Colon como parte de un consorcio internacional de investigación que estudia la epidemiología genética y molecular del cáncer colorrectal. Un objetivo central del Registro de Familias con Cáncer de Colon es la aplicación de la investigación del cáncer colorrectal a los entornos clínicos y de prevención para beneficiar a los participantes del registro y al público en general.
