AboutAbout the lab
Aiming to be surgeons of balanced mind, skill, and body, valued by the people they serve
The Clinical and Oncologic Surgery Lab, as the First Department of Surgery at Kyushu University Hospital, carries out surgical care and medical research.
Its clinical areas are breast and endocrine surgery, respiratory surgery, esophageal and gastric surgery, colorectal surgery, hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, and pancreas and kidney transplant surgery.
In its introduction of the department, the lab states that it is highly regarded in surgery performed with body-cavity endoscopes such as laparoscopes and thoracoscopes.
Another pillar of its education is helping trainees develop, through medical research, the ability to evaluate their own clinical experience objectively and scientifically.
Key terms
- Body-cavity endoscope
- Instruments such as laparoscopes and thoracoscopes, used to perform surgery by inserting a camera and instruments through small openings made in the body
- Breast cancer microenvironment
- The environment around breast cancer cells, which includes immune cells and other cells
- Dense breast
- A breast with a large amount of glandular tissue, so that a large part of it appears white on a mammogram

ResearchResearch themes
As a surgical department, the lab places importance on evaluating the experience gained in clinical practice objectively and scientifically through research. Research themes differ by faculty member and include the immune environment of breast cancer, the assessment of dense breasts, and surgery and recurrence in colorectal cancer.
*Illustrative imageBreast cancer and immunity
This research clarifies how the immune system works in the environment surrounding breast cancer (the breast cancer microenvironment). It is one of Associate Professor Kubo's research themes.
*Illustrative imageAssessment of dense breasts
The lab studies how dense breasts are assessed in breast cancer screening and how this relates to the development of breast cancer. It is one of Associate Professor Kubo's research themes.
*Illustrative imageAnalysis of the difficulty of robot-assisted rectal surgery
The lab analyzes how difficult robot-assisted surgery for rectal cancer is. This is Assistant Professor Fujimoto's research theme.
*Illustrative imageStudy of postoperative recurrence of colorectal cancer
The lab examines the factors behind recurrence after colorectal cancer surgery, looking at clinical factors. This is Assistant Professor Fujimoto's research theme.
