Department of Pathology performs research mainly on diagnosis and cancer prevention as well as make expert diagnosis for Cancer Institute Hospital. We are actively involved in the Ganken Genome Project to establish more exact pathological criteria for chemo- and radio-therapy and to advance the diagnostics of therapy effectiveness in several organ sites. Further, we are contributing to decision-making for best post-operational therapies by diagnosing more precisely surgical margins of surgical/endoscopical materials. Also, we reveal nature and malignant potential of tumors by analysis and long-term forllowup of precancerous lesions and early cancers.
