Observership Visits for Doctors and Researchers
更新日 : November 2024
We accept doctors and researchers to share our expertise with the international oncology community. Both of our hospitals are tertiary centers specializing solely in cancer care. The Research Institute, EPOC, and the Institute for Cancer Control are Japan's largest cancer research institutes, with top-level achievements, promoting industry-academia collaboration, and involvement in national cancer control programs. Clinicians and researchers specializing in cancer are likely to benefit most and are very welcome to contact us. Most visitors, after returning to their home institution, continue to collaborate with our doctors on international research projects.
