Annually, Mayo Clinic Arizona evaluates thousands of patients with diverse solid tumors and hematological disorders. In addition, Mayo evaluates a significant number of patients with nonmalignant hematologic disorders, including thrombocytosis, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and anemia. You will play an important role in the care of these patients.
Mayo Clinic actively participates in clinical trials of newer therapies for malignant disorders, including many Phase I and Phase II trials. In addition to intramural protocols, other trials involve cooperative efforts with a variety of groups.
