Introduction
The Department of Medical Oncology provides the most effective treatments using chemotherapy and works on the establishment of new standards of care for adult malignancies including breast cancer, gynecologic cancer, urological cancer, soft-tissue sarcoma, extra-gonadal germ cell tumor, cancer of unknown primary site and other rare types of solid tumors.
We envision becoming a leading medical oncology department, which makes a difference in cancer care in Japan and worldwide. Our mission is to provide patient-centered, state-of-the-art medical care to cancer patients, to develop new effective cancer treatments through clinical and translational research, and to nurture medical oncologists. An evidence-based, research-oriented and multidisciplinary approach is the core value of our practice.
The Team and What We Do
The Department of Medical Oncology conducts clinical, research and educational activities with a focus on pharmacotherapy for breast, uterine, ovarian, urological cancers, malignant soft tissue tumors (e.g. sarcomas), germ cell tumors, cancers of unknown primary, and other rare malignancies (Table 1).
The five basic missions are as follows:
- Contribute to the development of new cancer therapies domestically and globally by planning, supervising or participating in clinical trials.

- Promote translational research and strengthen cooperation with other departments, professions and research centers.
- Lead the world in the development of treatments for breast cancers, gynecological cancers, urological cancers and sarcoma, and in the early clinical development of anti-cancer drugs.
- Educate and train specialists in cancer pharmacotherapy or breast cancer treatment (medical specialists).
- Understand the physical, mental and social suffering of cancer patients and aim for holistic medical care.
In addition to providing the latest evidence-based pharmacotherapy, the department focuses on research activities aimed at building new evidence, focusing on the social environment surrounding cancer care, and developing treatments for rare cancers.
Research Activities
Our research interests extend across a wide range of topics related to treatment and clinical program development. Many of our research programs are secured by public and consignment research grants. We conducted many clinical studies as a primary investigator and participated in additional programs as a co-investigator in research programs secured by competitive public research funds. We published 68 international manuscripts, focusing on early-phase anti-cancer drug development, molecular imaging, drug efficacy studies using patient derived xenografts, translational research, novel chemotherapy against breast and gynecological cancer, novel biomarkers to predict the efficacy and adverse events of anti-cancer drugs and other basic research. We value cancer survivorship as a research theme to develop a comprehensive patient-centered care program.
Clinical Trials
In 2023, we actively enrolled patients in phase I studies (including first in human or global) as well as domestic and international phase II and III studies. Of note we enrolled patients in IIT for rare cancers. We also conducted many types of translational studies (TR) to identify novel biomarkers.
Education
We provide rich educational opportunities to both residents and chief residents through clinical experience as well as research activities. Residents are encouraged to make presentations at local and national conferences. We vigorously support basic, clinical, and translational research conducted by postdoctoral researchers.
Future Prospects
We will continue to establish new standard treatments and propose a near-future model for the clinical management of adult solid tumors, including breast cancer, gynecologic cancer, genitourinary cancer and rare cancer. Moreover, we aim to build a comprehensive program, which includes tumor registry, translational research, clinical trials and patient care in rare adult tumors based on our rich clinical experience. We would also like to improve the efficiency of anti-cancer drug development by coordinating basic and translational research in early-phase clinical trials.
