Research

Mayo Clinic researchers are studying ways to improve gastrectomy for stomach and gastroesophageal junction cancers. Their work includes minimally invasive and robotic approaches, lymph node mapping, immunotherapy, reconstruction after gastrectomy, and stomach-preserving procedures such as proximal gastrectomy. Read more about how Mayo Clinic is transforming stomach cancer care. Researchers also are studying the genetically and clinically distinct disease that causes early-onset stomach cancer in younger patients. Research is conducted in coordination with Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center.
