Research
Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center is defining new boundaries in colon cancer research. Our doctors are researchers, which means you have access to tomorrow’s treatments today.
Our colon cancer research includes:
- 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 approach for people after surgery by checking for any molecular level of residual cancer, called circulating tumor DNA, in the blood, and by evaluating a novel agent that may help to clear the cancer in addition to traditional chemotherapy.
- Providing chemotherapy directly to the liver for people whose colon cancer has spread using a hepatic artery infusion pump (HAIP).
