Professor KONDO Kazuya

 Our research projects are as follows :

 Basic research :

1. study for cancer-related genes and DNA repair genes of lung cancers and pre-malignant lesions in chromate-exposed workers in order to elucidate the carcinogenesis of inhalation carcinogens.
2. study for lymphangiogenesis and lymphogenous metastasis-related molecules using SCID mouse model orthotopically implanted lung cancer cell lines in order to elucidate the mechanism of lymphogenous metastasis.
3. study for predict factors of malignant behavior of thymoma.

 Clinical research :

1. identification of sentinel lymph nodes in lung cancer using near-infrared light ICG.
2. postoperative chemotherapy for lung cancer.
3. multimodality therapy for thymoma.
4. establishment of team oncology and education of cancer nurse.
