Gastroenterology and Hepatology

Director GOTO, Hidemi (Professor)   11E · 12E

We proud to offer innovative prevention, diagnosis and treatment of digestive diseases. Our state-of-the-art technology enables early detection of gastrointestinal, liver, pancreas cancer and improves the life

We provide the highest quality patient care for a wide spectrum of diseases for the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and biliary tract.

Medical Care System

In the outpatient clinic, specialists of the gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, pancreas, and liver provide medical care every day. Also, we perform screening tests such as upper and lower endoscopy and abdominal ultrasound every day. In the inpatient department, specialists provide medical care to inpatients as the attending physician.

Target Disease

Benign diseases (e.g. reflux esophagitis, gastric ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease) and malignant diseases such as cancer of the gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine), acute / chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, benign disease (bile duct / gallbladder stone and acute / chronic pancreatitis) and malignant disease such as cancer of the biliary tract and pancreas.

Strong Fields

We are actively involved in early detection and endoscopic therapy of gastrointestinal cancer. Also, we are confident in performing capsule endoscopy for small-bowel disease, diagnostic treatment using small intestinal endoscope, diagnostic treatment of viral hepatitis and liver cancer, ultrasonography for the biliary tract and pancreatic disease, and diagnostic treatment using endoscopes.

Clinical Results

We provide medical care to more than 200 patients with inflammatory disease a year. We perform endoscopic therapy in 250 or more patients with early gastrointestinal cancer a year; capsule endoscopy in 300 or more patients a year and small intestinal endoscopy in 200 or more patients a year; interferon therapy in dozens of patients a year; and, perform diagnosis and treatment of biliary / pancreatic cancer in 30 or more patients a year.

Specialized Outpatient Clinic

Since two gastrointestinal tract specialists, two liver specialists, and one biliary tract and pancreas specialist provide medical care in the outpatient clinic every day, all patients will be examined by a specialist wherever they visit the clinic.

Advanced Medicine and Research

We conduct research on the diagnosis and treatment of early gastrointestinal cancer, polypectomy and balloon dilation using small intestinal endoscope, and immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer.
