PhD

Breast surgery and oncology

We perform medical examination and treatment (diagnosis / surgery / oncological treatment, etc.) for the patient with breast cancer and perform translational research about the breast cancer from the approach of surgical medicine and clinical oncology. Also, we try to upbring the specialists for the sake of corresponding to the rapid increase of patients with breast cancer. Moreover, we attend at the patients' associations, and we are consulted and work on enlightenment.

Research Interests

• 1. We sort CD24-/lowCD44+ cells as stem-like cells of the breast cancer and analyze its signaling. Also, we investigate the therapeutic directionality of the drug-resistant or triple negative breast cancer by determining the characteristics of cancer stem cells.
  2. We perform gene profiling of breast carcinomas using resected samples and store genetic samples . We analyze particularly juvenile breast cancers and make a base of the therapy choice.

Current and Past Project

• We build the mutual and stable relationship between the two countries while applying the Internet technology.

Academic Activities Membership in Academic Society

• Japan Society of Clinical Oncology
• Japan Breast Cancer Society
• Japan Surgical Society

Awards

• Five programs provided scholarships designed to promote the education and professional development of early-career scientists who areactively pursuing research in breast cancer by facilitating their attendance at SABCS.
