Patient Care

We are the largest hospital with 934 beds in south Tokyo, Jonan area, designated as a tertiary emergency/general hospital. We have been providing local people with advanced cancer treatments as a community-based university hospital. Our hospital was certified as a cancer treatment hospital by Tokyo metropolitan government in April 2010, and as a regional cooperating cancer treatment hospital in 2012. After organizing the outpatient chemotherapy center, our department were established as the Cancer Center in 2014. Cancer registry data in 2018 shows that we accepted 2,461 new cancer patients, treated 8,751 patients at the outpatient chemotherapy center, performed surgery related to cancer for 1,578 patients, provided radiotherapy to 9,384 patients. We make a contribution as a regional core medical facility.
The trend in cancer treatments is gradually changing from inpatient treatment to outpatient treatment in recent years because of standardization of molecular targeted drugs, generalization of minimal invasive surgery, and popularization of outpatient radiotherapy. In some cases, unforeseen symptoms may suddenly develop under outpatient treatments. Owing to wide use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, we are required to treat paying particular attention to side effects totally different from the conventional ones induced by anticancer drugs. You may rest assured that we can accept any emergency diseases associated with cancer as a tertiary emergency hospital. We all will continue making every effort to provide optimal cancer treatments with meticulous care using our multidisciplinary approach.
With regard to the referred patients, we send them to each specialized department and provide prompt and optimal treatments after we perform examinations in our outpatient clinic. After the treatments are completed, we proactively refer the patients back to their primary care doctors or other doctors in our community and strive to establish the health care system in our community as a whole.
