AboutAbout the lab
Pushing the scalpel to its limits
The Surgical Oncology Lab is part of Gastroenterological and Oncological Surgery at Nagoya University Hospital and works on the surgical treatment of cancer.
In the former Surgery I, the previous professor and the professor before that were pioneers in the surgical treatment of biliary tract cancer, mainly perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, developing surgical techniques and improving their safety.
Gastroenterological and Oncological Surgery also treats esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancer and retroperitoneal tumors. In the surgical areas of the esophagus, stomach, colon, liver, and pancreas, the lab decides case by case whether to perform laparoscopic or robotic surgery.
In 2023, Surgery I and Surgery II were merged into "one surgery department," and the lab's website is now shared as Gastroenterological and Oncological Surgery.
Key terms

ResearchResearch themes
Under the motto "pushing the scalpel to its limits," Gastroenterological and Oncological Surgery works on the surgical treatment of gastrointestinal cancers, including biliary tract cancer and pancreatic cancer. Further refinement of surgical techniques and improvements in preoperative and postoperative management are regarded as the mission of surgeons.
