Respiratory Medicine Clinical Collaboration Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores new treatments for lung cancer through clinical trials and basic research.
AboutAbout the lab
New lung cancer treatments, from both clinical and basic research.
At the Respiratory Medicine Clinical Collaboration Lab, Associate Professor Kentaro Tanaka studies the development of new treatments for lung cancer.
The lab takes part in multicenter clinical trials and helps create new standard therapies for advanced-stage lung cancer.
It also conducts molecular biological research on lung cancer, including immunological analyses to predict treatment efficacy and side effects.
It also conducts research that brings findings originating in academia into actual clinical trials.
Key terms
- Clinical trial
- A study conducted with the cooperation of patients to find out whether a new drug or treatment can be used for patients
- Biomarker
- An indicator in the body that serves as a clue for distinguishing the efficacy and side effects of a treatment
- Small cell lung cancer
- A type of lung cancer. It is regarded as a refractory cancer that is difficult to treat
ResearchResearch themes
Associate Professor Kentaro Tanaka aims to develop new treatments for lung cancer, especially advanced-stage lung cancer. The lab both participates in clinical trials and conducts molecular biological research on lung cancer.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping new treatments for lung cancer
Associate Professor Tanaka participates, as a physician at a core institution, in clinical trials run by the Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG), the Lung Oncology Group in Kyushu (LOGIK), and the West Japan Oncology Group (WJOG). He helps develop new standard therapies for advanced-stage lung cancer and is also involved as a sub-investigator in clinical trials of new drugs.
*Illustrative imageMolecular biological research on lung cancer
Associate Professor Tanaka works on immunological analyses to predict treatment efficacy and side effects. He is also developing new treatments for small cell lung cancer, EGFR-mutation-positive lung cancer, and advanced-stage lung cancer in older patients, as well as biomarkers for immunotherapy.
*Illustrative imageBringing academic findings to the clinic
This research brings findings (seeds) that originate in academia, meaning universities and other research settings, into clinical practice. One example listed is the Phase I/II clinical trial of GAIA-102 for advanced or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.
