Research

Designated as a comprehensive cancer center by the National Cancer Institute, Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center is defining new boundaries in colon cancer research.

Areas of research include:

  • Partnering with colleagues internationally to study whether shorter duration chemotherapy regimens are as effective as longer ones.
  • Developing nanoparticles as medicine delivery vehicles that can propel chemotherapy medicines to cancer cells.
  • Conducting or leading innovative clinical trials, such as chemotherapy regimens based on the genetic profile of a person's cancer cells.
  • Finding the best chemotherapy treatment for people after surgery by checking for any remaining cancer cells, called circulating tumor DNA, in the blood.
