Overview |
The Department of Hematology plays two major roles: providing global-standard medical services for patients with hematological disorders and producing basic and clinical research evidence on hematological disorders. Our department has been designated as one of the core hospitals for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare since 2013. In patient care, we focus mainly on leukemias and malignant lymphoma, and offer intensive chemotherapy and allogeneic HSCT using related/unrelated peripheral blood or bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, and HLA haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell sources. We actively join multicenter clinical studies in Japan and multinational clinical trials for novel drugs. In our research, we aim to develop novel HSCT strategies including early diagnosis, prediction, prevention, and treatment for severe complications and disease relapse/progression to improve patient prognosis. |
