Breast Surgery Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that tailors breast cancer treatment to each patient and reduces its burden on the body.
AboutAbout the lab
Optimal breast cancer treatment for each individual.
The lab conducts research to optimize and make less invasive the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, to develop new diagnostic and treatment methods, and to build systems for personalized treatment.
Among Japanese women, breast cancer is most common in their 40s and after menopause. Responding to breast cancer that develops at a young age, and optimizing treatment for breast cancer that develops in older age, are also challenges.
So that women with breast cancer can remain active in their roles in society and at home and plan a fulfilling life, the lab researches integrated care from diagnosis through treatment, in collaboration with other specialties.
