Research

Doctors and scientists are studying new ways to diagnose and treat tonsil cancer, including research into improving and innovating head and neck surgery techniques.

Mayo Clinic doctors are studying innovative treatment protocols for people with tonsil cancer related to HPV that decrease the amount of treatment given and reduce the associated side effects, without sacrificing cure rates. In clinical trials, doctors are using lower doses of chemotherapy and radiation to treat HPV-associated tonsil cancer.

Cancer research is conducted in coordination with the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center receives funding from the National Cancer Institute and is designated as a comprehensive cancer center — recognition for an institution's scientific excellence and multidisciplinary resources focused on cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

Tonsil cancer

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.
