Our Vision
A global leader in cancer care, research and education, Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center is connecting with diverse patients everywhere for the prevention, screening and treatment of cancer. Mayo Clinic will deliver on our vision of revolutionizing cancer care here and around the world by enhancing our clinical practice, research and education activities while leveraging digital and platform tools and expanding our global reach.
Mayo Clinic's leadership is needed now more than ever. Though groundbreaking advancements over the last 30 years have significantly improved survival rates for patients with cancer around the world, many cancers still are not prevented, detected early or treated successfully. With more than 18 million cases of cancer diagnosed globally each year, our vision for cancer treatment and cures is aggressive because patients need solutions.
Our Strategy
The vision of Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center is expanding. Key components of the plan include:
- Enriching clinical trials
- Strengthening groups focused on disease-specific research
- Developing novel therapeutics and advanced diagnostics
- Leveraging innovation, digital and platform opportunities
- Enhancing community outreach and engagement
- Expanding our global presence
Our plan will be successful when we increase the speed at which innovations are adopted and Mayo Clinic is the leading destination for cancer care.
Mayo Clinic is uniquely qualified to execute this strategy because we have the expertise to elevate the clinical practice of oncology, having made important contributions for 50 years as a leading cancer center. We have tremendous depth and breadth in integrated resources, structure and multidisciplinary collaboration. We can think big and act boldly because Mayo Clinic leads from a position of strength.
