The current environment presents many challenges. Mayo Clinic's highest priority is patient and staff safety. We are taking every precaution to manage patient safety to the highest standard through universal masking, enhanced safety protocols, robust screening and COVID-19 testing strategies. Mayo Clinic has a long-standing history of helping our community in crisis while maintaining capacity to care for patients who need it most. We will continuously evaluate the circumstances at each of our sites and follow federal and state mandates to protect the safety of our patients, staff and community.

Patient Care

Mayo's spinal oncology specialists may employ proton beam therapy, carbon fiber implants or surgical alternatives ― such as decompression, stabilization, ablation technologies or cement augmentation ― to meet each patient's needs.

Mayo Clinic discusses the findings of a study of patients with COVID-19, which found that possible neurological signs and symptoms caused by COVID-19 include loss of taste and smell, headache, impaired consciousness, and stroke.
Research

Testicular cancer-associated paraneoplastic encephalitis causes severe neurological symptoms in men. The disease begins with a testicular tumor, which appears to cause the immune system to attack the brain.

Research confirms that, despite improvements in median and short-term survival rates in glioblastoma, the percentage of patients achieving five-year survival remains low.
