Advanced Therapeutics for Head and Neck Tumors Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores treatments that cure head and neck cancers while reducing the burden on the patient's body.
AboutAbout the lab
Achieving both cure and preserved quality of life.
The Advanced Therapeutics for Head and Neck Tumors Lab is an endowed department within the Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery.
Tumors in the head and neck arise in many sites, including the nose, mouth, throat, esophagus, salivary glands, and thyroid, and every form of treatment places a burden on the body and can lower quality of life.
The lab aims to accumulate new findings and apply them in the clinic, delivering more effective and less burdensome treatment to patients.
Key terms
- Mucosal malignant melanoma
- A highly malignant melanoma that arises in mucous membranes such as those of the nose and mouth
- Artificial trachea
- A trachea made artificially to replace a trachea that has been lost
- Investigator-initiated clinical trial
- A clinical trial aimed at gaining approval for a new drug, led by physicians rather than a pharmaceutical company
ResearchResearch themes
Using a variety of research methods, the lab works to optimize treatments for head and neck tumors, aiming to achieve a cure while preserving quality of life.
*Illustrative imageMucosal Malignant Melanoma and Immunotherapy
To improve the prognosis of highly malignant mucosal malignant melanoma, the lab gathers findings across anatomical sites and explores the optimal combinations and timing of treatment in the head and neck. It puts particular emphasis on research to optimize the use of immunotherapy.
*Illustrative imageReconstruction with an Artificial Trachea
The lab conducts clinical research on physiologically reconstructing the trachea lost in head and neck tumor surgery, using an artificial trachea made with regenerative medicine methods. It also works on identifying the tissue stem cells that underlie this approach and on creating tissue models from iPS cells.
*Illustrative imageMultidisciplinary Treatment of Esophageal Malignant Tumors
The lab conducts investigator-initiated clinical trials and multicenter collaborative studies on malignant tumors of the esophagus, and develops multidisciplinary treatments that combine multiple therapies.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of New Diagnostic and Surgical Devices
The lab develops new diagnostic and surgical devices, evaluates their effectiveness and safety, and aims for clinical applications that make innovative surgical methods possible.
