Mayo Clinic signs cancer research deal

The Mayo Clinic has signed a multi-year collaborative research deal with Colorado State University, under which the two will jointly develop treatments for cancer and infectious diseases. The agreement should help the university solve the perennial problem of moving cutting-edge discoveries out of the lab and into the hands of treating physicians. For example, a researcher at CSU's Animal Cancer Center recently developed a new way to deliver radiation treatment to patients with osteosarcoma tumors, a cancer commonly found in dogs.
