The Division of Pathology is responsible for providing “pathological diagnosis” with microscopic examinations on tissue and cell samples collected for diagnostic purposes by clinical divisions, as well as biopsy specimens resected for surgical treatments. Pathological diagnosis is the most reliable among all the examinations on the tumor. The results are reported to the clinicians, who will use them for making treatment plans.
Pathological diagnoses are provided by the pathologists, who are all equipped with highly-qualified skills and ample experiences. Furthermore, the pathologists here have their own specialties in specific organs, so that accuracy is guaranteed in every diagnosis they make.
At all the clinical departments where cancer therapies are being provided, new therapies are constantly brought into practice. In order to get the most efficacy from those new therapies, the diagnostic technology should also be constantly updated. We are always willing to participate in various clinical tests for new diagnostic technologies, and at the same time, we willingly adopt the “companion diagnostics” to assess the reactive property of a patient against a therapeutic drug prior to the clinical application of it.
At the SCC, a clinical study named the “Project HOPE (High-tech Omics-based Patient Evaluation)” is currently moving forward. The study is about analyzing genetic information of tumor tissues, aiming at the clinical application of “personalized medicine,” which is to customize medicine for each patient, and “Mibyo (a Japanese word meaning presymptomatic) medicine” to prevent the manifestation of a disease while it is still in the preclinical stage. The Division of Pathology support the study by supplying tumor tissues for analyses, and at the same time, we are working on adaptation of the analysis results to the pathological diagnoses here.
Since 2011, we have been organizing the Shizuoka Cancer Center Special Seminar for Pathologists’ Training. Expert pathologists specializing in different tumors offer the latest information on pathological diagnosis at every seminar.
Although we don’t see patients in person, we do see them via microscopes. We support them thoroughly by providing them with accurate diagnoses, which will lead them to optimal cancer treatments.
