Breast and Endocrine Surgery Lab

AboutAbout the lab

Thinking together about the best treatment to overcome disease.

Breast and Endocrine Surgery provides surgical care for breast diseases, mainly breast cancer, and for diseases of endocrine organs such as the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands.
As a core hospital in the Nagoya-Tokai region, the lab works on minimally invasive surgery that places less burden on patients and on introducing new medical technologies.
The lab also treats hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome and multiple endocrine neoplasia, in cooperation with a genetics specialty department.
Alongside clinical care, the lab devotes effort to training young surgeons and students who will lead the next generation.

ResearchResearch themes

Alongside clinical care at the university hospital, the lab conducts research activities such as experiments, papers, and conference presentations. It works not only for patients who are in need now but also on research with an eye to the future. In clinical research, observational studies sometimes use a method called "opt-out," in which the conduct of the study is announced publicly and participants are guaranteed the opportunity to decline.

Ratings and reviews reflect the experiences of individual current or former students, not the lab's official views. Whether a lab has reviews, or how many, says nothing about the lab itself.

Students who take part in an interview may receive a thank-you gift worth ¥1,000, regardless of what they say.
