4One of the outstanding character-istics of JFCR is close collaboration between the Hospital and the Insti-tute. New therapeutic methods developed by the Institute are proposed for use in clinical settings at the Hospital. 　Subsequently, the information obtained in clinical practice is sent as feedback to the research sections. To promote such mu-tual feedback effectively, the Hospital and the Institute share the same building. Notably, the Institute’s Pathology Department, which operates together with the Hospital’s Clinical Pathology Center, is located on the same oor as the Hospital’s operating rooms so that rapid pathological diagnosis can be performed during surgery. 　Moreover, the Cancer Chemo-therapy Center and the Genome Center, which conduct anti-cancer drugs and genetic research, respectively, play roles in providing translational-type research be-tween the Hospital and the Institute. 　JFCR can simultaneously provide state-of-the-art medical care and high-level research throughout the continuum of basic research, translational research, and clinical practice. Fostering medical doctors and researchers specializing in cancerJFCR also excels in the field of human resource development. As the only cancer-specific facility operating in Japan before 1962, when the National Cancer Center was established, JFCR has trained a large number of physicians and researchers involved in cancer control. Currently, more than 100 medical-related personnel from hospitals across Japan visit JFCR each year to study cancer care. Many of those who studied at JFCR have been taking initiative roles in cancer treatment and research at hospitals, universities, and research institutions nationwide in Japan.
