Treatment of cancer has advanced by combining surgical therapy, drug therapy, and radiation therapy. The quality of life for cancer patients can also be improved by incorporating palliative care soon after the diagnosis of cancer. Therefore, the Oncology Center was established in April 2008, consisting of the Department of Chemotherapy, Department of Palliative Medicine and Department of Radiation Therapy, in order to integrate the various departments involved in cancer diagnosis and treatment at our hospital and implement efficient management, with the aim of qualitatively and quantitatively improving drug therapy, radiation therapy and palliative care. The Center has made great contributions to improvement in the level of medical care for cancer patients, and to the professional development of oncologists (specialists in drug therapy, radiation therapy and palliative care for cancer). The Oncology Center building was opened in September 2015 in order to further improve the functioning of the Oncology Center, with the aim of providing advanced care by experts on cancer, including cancer diagnosis, clinical examination, chemotherapy, cancer consultation, genetic counseling, a medication room, and genome examination.
From fiscal year 2020, the Oncology Center newly includes the Department of Chemotherapy, Department of Pediatrics, and Department of Cancer Information.
