AboutAbout the lab
Cutting-edge treatment and research that prioritize QOL.
The Department of Urology works on cutting-edge treatment and research for urologic malignancies, with an emphasis on quality of life (QOL).
It was founded in 1959 as a urology department that emerged from surgery.
The department performs adrenal surgery and is also actively involved in research on the QOL of people who have experienced testicular cancer.
After obtaining specialist certification, many members enter graduate school, choose either basic or clinical research, and are supervised by their academic advisor all the way through to the completion of their degree.
