Many laryngeal cancer patients suffer loss of laryngeal function, and their ability to speak, swallow and breathe on their own. For almost two decades, Dr. David Lott and his team at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix have been researching laryngeal transplantation. In 2016, his Larynx and Trachea Transplant Program received approval to conduct the first known clinical trial investigating the procedure — a significant step forward to making it scientifically proven safe and effective for everyone. Learn more about the procedure and meet Marty Kedian, one patient who is now getting his voice back after laryngeal transplantation: https://mayocl.in/3xNuVJW

Mayo Clinic announces a groundbreaking achievement in organ transplantation, offering hope to thousands who have lost their ability to speak, swallow and breathe on their own due to diminished function or loss of their larynx. A multidisciplinary team of doctors in Arizona performed the third known total larynx transplant in the U.S. The case also marks a medical milestone as the first known total larynx transplant performed as part of a clinical trial and the first on a patient with active cancer in the U.S. "The surgery and patient's progress have exceeded our expectations," says David Lott, M.D., chair of the Department of Otolaryngology (ENT) - Head and Neck Surgery/Audiology at Mayo Clinic in Arizona. "This is a tremendous accomplishment in launching what we believe is the future for laryngeal transplantation." A paper by Dr. Lott on the case was published July 9 in the peer-reviewed medical journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings. Learn more: https://mayocl.in/3WcfUdU

Preeclampsia occurs in 1 in 25 pregnancies and can negatively affect the health of women long after childbirth. Scientists link these effects to faster cellular aging in the body, called cellular senescence. Right now, there are no therapies to treat senescence in women with preeclampsia. However, Mayo researchers recently found three biomarkers in women with a history of preeclampsia that, one day, could lead to the development of targeted treatments. The researchers say finding a cure for preeclampsia would, "Improve the lives of countless women and their families and transform society in ways we can't even imagine." Sonja Suvakov, M.D., Ph.D., and Vesna Garovic, M.D., Ph.D., were the lead researchers of this study. Learn more: https://mayocl.in/3XQYDZb
