Breast and Endocrine Surgery Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A surgery lab that applies genetic diagnosis to breast cancer care.
AboutAbout the lab
Bringing genetic diagnosis into breast cancer care
The Department of Breast and Endocrine Surgery specializes in surgery of the breast and thyroid, providing clinical care and also conducting research.
Breast cancer is the mainstay of the department's treatment, and the department's main theme is the application of genetic diagnosis to breast cancer care.
The department pursues translational research, solving problems found in the clinic through research.
In the doctoral program, students conduct a wide range of basic and clinical research on breast cancer.
Key terms
- Translational research
- Bridging research that carries the results of basic research into actual clinical care, and brings problems found in the clinic back to research
- Sentinel lymph node
- The first lymph node that cancer cells reach. Checking whether metastasis is present there provides a clue for deciding the extent of surgery.
- Molecular diagnosis
- A diagnostic method that examines molecular information in the body, such as genes, to determine the nature and state of a disease
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to scientifically observe and analyze clinical problems found while caring for patients, and to solve them. It is working on putting molecular diagnostic methods for breast cancer into practical use and on developing methods to predict sentinel lymph node metastasis.
