Research Theme
- Surgery with a focus on cosmetic outcomes
- Clinical trials for breast cancer
- Development of novel therapies based on drug sensitivity of patient-derived breast cancer stem cells
Details
- Introduction of endoscope-assisted surgery, radiofrequency ablation for early-stage breast cancer, and sentinel lymph node biopsy (using 3D lympho-CT, radioisotope method, fluorescence-guided infrared imaging, and OSNA method)
- Participation in JBCRG’s M-10 (INDUCE) trial and the global EMBER trial of imlunestrant, a novel oral SERD
- Selective culture of breast cancer stem cells from patient tumor tissue to investigate gene expression and drug sensitivity profiles, and to examine their correlation with actual therapeutic outcomes
