Introduction |
|
Fifty years have passed since the late Dr. Shinichiro
Endo was inaugurated as the first professor and
the history of our Chair began in 1952. Dr. Rikiya
Abe became the next professor in 1985, and Dr.
Seiichi Takenoshita has been a professor and a
chairman since 1999.
The main theme of studies and researches in our
Chair has been surgical oncology. We have done
a lot of basic and clinical researches on various
cancers, and have been making efforts to treat
patients using the most recent knowledge and technology.
In our Department, there are three clinical teams
with specialties of gastroenterological surgery,
breast surgery, endocrine surgery, and respiratory
surgery. They cover the diagnosis and the treatment
of various malignant tumors, laying, great emphasis
on patient-centered care. |

Research |
|
| Recent advance in genetic engineering and molecular
biology has shown that cancer is a disease caused
by various kinds of abnormal genes. Our Chair
has long explored this field by investigating
cancer using molecular biological techniques.
Cancer from many organs share a variety of biochemical
and genetical characteristics, which provides
us with valuable clues to address the questions
"what is cancer?" or "how can we
apply the molecular biological results to clinical
medicine?" We have multi-institutional ties
with representative laboratories for cancer research
in Japan, Asia, US, and Europe. Many collaborative
projects are in progress to answer the above stated
questions about cancer. |

Education |
|
The education of surgical medicine for students
consists of lectures and clinical practices. General
and particular lectures are given on the fourth
grade and clinical practices, named "Bed
Side Learning (BSL)" are prepared on the
fifth grade. On the senior grade, students can
choose advanced clinical practices of surgery
as an optional course.
Besides the surgical education for medical students,
we perform academic activities such as introducing
recent medical technology to a citizen of Fukushima
Prefecture and joining in a lot of medical conferences
to present our studies. |
