Our department mainly performs surgical treatment for breast cancer and neoplastic lesions in sites such as the thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal gland, and pancreas.


Medical Care System

We make efforts to provide optimum treatment based on global standard therapy and the most advanced techniques that are only possible in university hospitals. In addition, we actively use a clinical path to ensure efficiency and equalization of treatment.

Target Diseases

Breast cancer, thyroid cancer, Cushing's syndrome, primary hyperaldosteronism, pheochromocytoma, adrenal cancer, adrenal tumor, primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism, and multiple endocrine neoplasia.

Strong Fields

For breast cancer, we perform a high level of diagnostic imaging, surgical treatment, and drug therapy in cooperation with specialists of many fields, which is only possible in university hospitals. We have performed an outstanding number of total thyroidectomies for thyroid cancer and laparoscopic surgeries for adrenal tumors in Japan.

Clinical Results

In the previous year, we performed surgery on 225 patients with breast cancer, 71 patients with thyroid cancer, 24 patients with an adrenal tumor, and 13 patients with parathyroid disease. We perform a mammotome biopsy, which is a minimally invasive mammary gland biopsy, three or more times a week.
