Frontier Surgery
Overview
In our department, we are treating patients with digestive tract diseases, mammary gland/thyroid diseases, or chronic renal failure for kidney transplantation, and promoting researches of these diseases. We are developing novel surgical techniques for laparoscopic surgery, extended surgery, salvage surgery, or endoscopic surgery. We are also focusing on multimodal treatment such as neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies, with use of radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy for advanced cancers. The promotion of clinical research is our important mission, and we are actively developing new treatment methods based on radiological and endoscopic researches. Especially, we implemented genetic treatment using the p53 cancer suppressor gene for advanced esophageal cancer from 2000 to 2004. We are also actively promoting epigenetic research including micro ribonucleic acid (RNA) analyses to develop new molecular-targeted therapy such as histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. We are also constructing clinical bio-bank and database of Chiba University as the research base for overcoming various malignant digestive disease in the future.
