研究
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.
