Clinical Oncology

The Department of Clinical Oncology, overseeing the Cancer Center and Department of Outpatient Chemotherapy Unit, was newly established on February 1, 2024, at the University of Tokyo Hospital. We provide comprehensive cancer care for all types of solid tumors, especially focusing on gastrointestinal tumors.

Medical services

Two attending physicians specializing in medical oncology, along with the physicians from various departments of the Cancer Center and the doctors from the Outpatient Chemotherapy Unit, provide care for all types of solid tumors, with a focus on gastrointestinal cancers. At the Cancer Center, multidisciplinary team conferences are held every morning with the attending physicians before administering chemotherapy agents to discuss the risks and problems for each patient. Medical staff provide instructions and suppor t regarding self-care, drug compliance, and nutrition before discharge.

Chemotherapy of high quality and safety is conducted by a multidisciplinary team consisting of doctors and medical staff such as pharmacists, nurses and nutritionists specialized in cancer care. Considering about the disease and condition of each patient, evidence-based chemotherapy is conducted appropriately and safely with the multidisciplinary team approach.
