Parotid Patient Project

Hello Parotid Community! Time is running out to participate in the Mayo Clinic's patient-centered research project that was funded by Parotid Patient Project. The study closes on July 31, 2023. This study needs at least 300 participants from the United States, and we have not hit that number yet. Don’t miss your chance to participate!

If you are based in the United States and have gone through parotid treatment, we need to hear about your experiences. If you have already enrolled and filled out the survey, thank you! This survey only takes 15 minutes to complete and will have lasting impacts on the parotid community.

This survey aims to capture both the short-term and long-term effects of surgery, so we need patients who have recently had surgery as well as patients who had surgery quite some time ago to participate to capture this information.

If we want answers and want researchers to care about parotid related research, then we need to participate in their studies when they have them.

Volunteers needed in a study on patient-centered outcomes after parotid surgery

Mayo Clinic researchers are seeking volunteers who have had a “parotidectomy” – a surgery to remove part or all of the parotid gland – to participate in a survey research study. The purpose of the study is to better understand the experiences of patients who have gone through parotid surgery with respect to their surgical outcomes, quality of life, mental health, and social well-being. For more information, or to access the survey, please visit:

If you have had parotid surgery and are located in the United States, we need to hear from you!

Please enroll in this patient-centered research study that was funded by Parotid Patient Project to give patients a voice and to help impact the future care of parotid patients.

Hello Parotid Community! The moment we have waited for is finally near. The patient-centered research project that was funded by Parotid Patient Project will be released soon. I recorded this podcast with Dr. Linda Yin who is spearheading this research project at the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Yin explains the project, what they hope to learn, and how you can help by participating in this study.

Every patient voice matters. This is our time to unite as a community and let our voices be heard! We have a unique opportunity to influence the future care and treatment of parotid tumors.

We will provide a link where you can sign up to participate in the study when it becomes available. In the meantime, you can learn more about this groundbreaking study in this podcast episode.
