Summary of Activity

The division of breast, endocrine and thoracic surgery is in charge of two clinical departments--breast and endocrine surgery, and thoracic surgery. We mainly provide surgical care for tumors, including breast cancer, lung cancer, thyroid cancer, and mediastinal tumors.
In our division, we strive to train "academic surgeons" who can provide treatment based on a scientific understanding of tumors, and have devoted ourselves to basic medical research on tumors.

Research Subject

  • ・Analysis of oncogenesis and acquisition of malignant phenotype in thyroid, lung, and breast cancer.
  • ・Mechanisms of cytotoxic drug resistance in breast and lung cancer

Outlook for Research

  • ・To be specialists of breast/endocrine and thoracic surgery.
  • ・To be "academic surgeons" who have the creativity they need to thrive on the global stage.
