Why choose Mayo Clinic for Lymphoma Care – Mayo Clinic.

What's really exciting about being treated at Mayo Clinic is that we've got the newest and the best treatments for lymphoma with hopefully the least side effects. There has been a dramatic shift in how we think about treating cancer patients taking either the inherence immune system or the retrained immune system and getting it to fight the cancer. We have a large volume of lymphoma specific expertise. In addition to this clinical care behind the scenes, we have world's leading expert hematoma pathologists. These are the doctors that look at the slides to help make the diagnosis.

Having the correct diagnosis for the patient you're seeing is everything. There are so many different subtypes of lymphoma with such subtle nuances. Your diagnosis doesn't come out of some encyclopedia of diagnoses. That's where the expertise of the pathologists is extremely important. We're constantly discovering newer markers and sometimes we discover something new that helps us better classify a disease process. I think we're Mayo Clinic really stands apart with this integrated, interconnected ability to work together with people that talk to each other frequently and collaborate, really allows for a holistic and integrated approach to patients, patients with lymphoma. We've been privileged to participate in a lot of very important lymphoma research, which really keeps us at the forefront of the best, most tolerable treatments for our patients.

Most recently we've had the advent of CAR T-cell therapy, which has really changed what we're able to do for people who have refractory aggressive lymphomas. Car-T therapy stands for chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy. And it's really just a fancy immunotherapy. We take the patient's T-cells. These are immune cancer fighting cells, and we train them as it were. We've learned that you can actually activate the patient's immune system and have the immune system target the cancer. We've seen really encouraging results that make us very excited to offer BAT and a variety of other different therapies.

We care not only about curing our patients, making the best outcomes for all types of lymphoma. But also how patients feel and function on treatment and beyond. The diagnosis of lymphoma is a life changing event. But there is hope because we actually have therapies that are curative in this disease. And the goal, I tell people you never want to be average. We're always shooting for above-average. And we want to see patients have the best outcome possible.
