The future of comprehensive cancer care
Mayo Clinic Laboratories takes the lead in designing and optimizing oncology testing based on specific cancer types. Our comprehensive test menu includes evaluations that aid in providing both diagnostic and prognostic information and treatment selection guidance across the full spectrum of malignancies. By offering testing for both acquired and inherited cancers in one place, we serve as the singular source for all cancer testing.
“tests like these assure patients get the best cancer care, as clinicians use these results to determine the best treatment strategies based on the patients tumor profile - It's really that simple.”
Benjamin Kipp, Ph.D., chair of the Division of Laboratory Genetics and Genomics

Autoimmune neurology testing has evolved beyond limited paraneoplastic evaluations to phenotype-specific panels that identify clinically relevant antibodies. This phenotype-specific approach significantly improves diagnostic accuracy, reduces false positives, and helps guide faster, more personalized treatment for complex neurological diseases.
In this episode of “Answers From the Lab,” host Bobbi Pritt, M.D., chair of the Division of Clinical Microbiology at Mayo Clinic, is joined by William Morice II, M.D., Ph.D., president and CEO of Mayo Clinic Laboratories, to discuss updates on the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA) and other policy changes affecting clinical diagnostics. Later, Dr. Pritt welcomes Ann Moyer, M.D., Ph.D., a molecular genetic pathologist at Mayo Clinic and chair of the hereditary genetics practice, to explore how precision therapeutics are improving cancer treatments.

Linda Hasadsri, M.D., Ph.D., and Huong Cabral, M.S., CGC, explain how Mayo Clinic Laboratories' expanded test panel captures rarer as well as more common genetic causes of hereditary pancreatitis. That information is key to managing patients' enhanced risk for pancreatic cancer.
Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ newly expanded Hereditary Pancreatitis Gene Panel is transforming how clinicians diagnose and manage a complex, often elusive disease. Developed through close collaboration between lab scientists, genetic counselors, and clinicians, the test uses a whole exome sequencing backbone to analyze nine carefully selected genes with strong clinical relevance. This focused approach avoids ambiguous results while empowering early diagnosis, cancer risk assessment, and family testing. Built on a whole exome backbone with reflex capabilities, the panel represents a major step forward in precision medicine — offering clarity for patients and providers, and a platform for future genomic innovation.
