Our research projects are as follows :
Basic research :
- study for cancer-related genes and DNA repair genes of lung cancers and pre-malignant lesions in chromate-exposed workers in order to elucidate the carcinogenesis of inhalation carcinogens.
- study for lymphangiogenesis and lymphogenous metastasis-related molecules using SCID mouse model orthotopically implanted lung cancer cell lines in order to elucidate the mechanism of lymphogenous metastasis.
- study for predict factors of malignant behavior of thymoma.
Clinical research :
- identification of sentinel lymph nodes in lung cancer using near-infrared light ICG.
- postoperative chemotherapy for lung cancer.
- multimodality therapy for thymoma.
- establishment of team oncology and education of cancer nurse.
