Gynecology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A gynecology lab that links the clinical care of women's diseases with basic research.
AboutAbout the lab
Treating women's diseases and connecting basic research with clinical practice.
The lab conducts research while working on the diagnosis and treatment of women's healthcare as a whole, including malignant and benign gynecologic tumors and endocrine disorders.
In cancer surgery, the lab uses minimally invasive procedures such as robot-assisted surgery, as well as curative cancer surgery that takes fertility preservation into account, mainly for patients who are suitable candidates.
In basic research, the lab has so far studied therapeutic targets of refractory gynecologic cancers and the function of fertilized eggs, and in recent years it has also put effort into translational research that connects basic research with clinical practice.
The lab's website is shared with the Perinatal Medicine lab, and its staff page lists not only faculty members but also hospital staff physicians and graduate students.
Key terms
- Fertility preservation
- Measures taken to preserve the ability to become pregnant in the future while aiming for a complete cure of the cancer.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts basic research alongside the clinical care of gynecologic diseases. In basic research, it has so far studied therapeutic targets of refractory gynecologic cancers and the function of fertilized eggs, and in recent years it has focused on research that connects basic research with clinical practice, such as the search for biomarkers of gynecologic cancers.
*Illustrative imageTherapeutic targets for refractory gynecologic cancers
The lab has been working to identify candidate targets for new treatments of gynecologic cancers that do not respond well to standard therapy.
*Illustrative imageCytoplasm and mitochondria of fertilized eggs
As infertility research, the lab has studied the function of the cytoplasm and mitochondria of fertilized eggs.
*Illustrative imageEvaluating embryos by their respiration
The lab is developing a method for evaluating fertilized eggs based on embryo respiration, as an industry-academia collaborative study with a company.
*Illustrative imageBiomarker discovery for gynecologic cancers
In collaboration with the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, the lab is searching for new biomarkers of gynecologic cancers through multi-omics analysis.
