Clinical Oncology

The Depar tment of Clinical Oncology was newly established on February 1, 2024, at the University of Tokyo Hospital as the department responsible for the Cancer Center and the Department of Outpatient Chemotherapy. It serves as the primary point of contact for drug therapy for solid tumors within the hospital. Centered on gastrointestinal cancers, the department provides comprehensive cancer care with a focus on anticancer drug therapy.

Medical services

The department is staffed by two board-certified medical oncologists, along with physicians jointly appointed from each specialty department within the Cancer Center and the Outpatient Chemotherapy Unit, all of whom hold board certifications in their respective fields. Together, they provide care for a broad range of solid tumors, particularly gastrointestinal cancers.

Treatment policy

We provide individualized treatment based on the latest evidence, aiming to offer the most appropriate therapy for each patient. In close collaboration with pharmacists, nurses, nutritionists, and other professionals, we practice teambased care that supports patients both medically and holistically.

Specialties

Our specialties include cancer drug therapy, genomic medicine, supportive care for chemotherapy-related adverse events, and the provision of care for various unmet medical needs.

Target Conditions

We provide treatment for gastrointestinal cancers and a wide range of solid tumors, including cancers of unknown primary origin, neuroendocrine tumors, and rare cancers. We are also involved in advanced care such as clinical trials, patient-requested therapies based on comprehensive genomic profiling, and other forms of precision medicine. Second-opinion consultations and clinical trial referrals are also available.
