Research

Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center is a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center, giving you access to new developments and treatments for spinal cord tumors. Mayo Clinic also participates in several regional, national and international cooperative groups and collaborations devoted to cancer research. Mayo Clinic's research on spinal cord tumors includes finding ways to:

  • Use technology for earlier diagnosis and to improve surgical techniques for tumor removal
  • Avoid late complications related to tumor removal and identify which tumors are safe to monitor rather than remove
  • Best treat astrocytomas, a type of intramedullary spinal tumor

Spinal cord tumor

Research: It's all about patients

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Joseph Sirven, M.D., Professor of Neurology, Mayo Clinic: Mayo's mission is about the patient. The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
