Dr. SUDO's story

Through my experience at the MD Anderson Cancer Center and the National Cancer Center Japan, I have met many cancer researchers and oncologists from many countries. I believe that a wide range of international collaboration is essential to promote cancer research. Cancer care is advancing day by day.  Our team will work to establish and promote cancer research network in Asia and contribute to improve cancer treatment in Asia.

Research interests

Since I came to National Cancer Center, I have expanded my research to include clinical trial and translational research. I am participating in phase 2 and phase 3 clinical trials at the medical oncology department and early drug development at the phase 1 unit.  I currently serve as head of The International Translational Research section at  National Cancer Center Hospital and work on genomics research.
