Outline of the research

In addition to surgical treatment, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, cancer immunotherapy using immune checkpoint inhibitors and other drugs has recently been highly effective in treating cancer. On the other hand, the development of new treatment methods is still desired for some cancers, such as bone metastatic tumors. Therefore, we aim to develop a new cancer therapy that incorporates a strategy to control the cancer microenvironment in metastatic sites, which is constructed by non-cancer cells such as immune cells, by means of drugs.
