Research

Mayo Clinic researchers have a long tradition of conducting research to advance the care of people with brain metastases. Successful projects have included:

  • Identifying an interaction among proteins that allows cancer cells to grow and metastasize
  • Studying how brain function is affected after stereotactic radiosurgery plus whole-brain radiotherapy, compared with stereotactic radiosurgery alone
  • Identifying predictors of survival for people with melanoma receiving whole-brain radiation therapy for brain metastases, which helps to individualize treatment plans
  • Developing guidelines for treating people with breast cancer and brain metastases
  • Advancing treatment options for people with a rare type of brain metastases called leptomeningeal metastases
  • Developing a method of predicting who might benefit from rehabilitation services after treatment for brain metastases

Scientists in the following Mayo Clinic's laboratories are active in brain tumor research:

Brain metastases

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.
