Get to Know Dr. Aaron S. Mansfield
Dr. Aaron Mansfield is a medical oncologist and translational scientist specializing in lung cancer and mesothelioma treatment at Minnesota’s Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
He believes immunotherapy, which allows a patient’s own immune system to fight cancer cells, will change the way doctors treat patients in the future.
When he isn’t seeing patients, Mansfield is immersed in basic research and clinical trials that benefit current and future patients, discovering what works and doesn’t work well, and helping move new therapies through the approval process. Mansfield’s research involves the development of drugs that will fight mesothelioma and slow tumor growth.
“Immunotherapy is not a cure-all. And you can’t get overly optimistic for the reality of what it does,” he said. “But for a subset of patients, they are going to do better, and with few side effects. I can’t predict, but my hope is that these [drugs] become standard of care.”
Mansfield graduated from the University of California-Irvine School of Medicine in 2006. He did his residency and fellowship in internal medicine at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, where he stayed and served as a clinical investigator in 2013.
