Thyroid and Endocrine Center

Conventionally, diagnosis and treatment of endocrine diseases have been dealt with at the internal medicine and surgical divisions separately, but the Thyroid and Endocrine Center serves as the comprehensive contact point for these clinical divisions so that patients can receive optimal medical care. Clinical practice for endocrine diseases involves a variety of clinical divisions, including the Divisions of Thyroid and Endocrine Medicine and the Division of Diabetology, Endocrinology and Metabolism in internal medicine and, among the surgical divisions, the Divisions of Thyroid and Endocrine Surgery, Neurosurgery, Urology and Adrenal Endocrine Surgery, and Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery. These divisions share information by among other means, holding regular conferences. We are enhancing efforts to provide patients with optimal comprehensive medical care by sharing information among specialists gathered from various divisions. Commissioned by Fukushima Prefecture, we treat a large number of patients with conditions that have been found to require treatment following the Fukushima Health Management Survey’s Thyroid Ultrasound Examination. Clinical practice is conducted primarily by the medical professionals at our Center using the cutting-edge devices available at our Advanced Clinical Research Center.
