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

PACE / State of FL - Register now - May 21, 2025: - This webinar will explore the role of cytology specimens in molecular genetic testing, emphasizing their effectiveness in identifying biomarkers critical for targeted therapies in patients with cancer. Advantages of cytology samples, challenges in specimen adequacy, and how advancements in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have led to improved utilization of cytology samples will be discussed. This discovery has led to enhancing diagnostic accuracy, reducing the need for repeat biopsies, and accelerating personalized cancer treatment, all of which will be highlighted during the webinar.
