[Out-patient treatment for cancer patients at cancer chemotherapy centers in university hospitals].
At present, one-third of people die of cancer and the number is still increasing in Japan. A safe and effective treatment system is critically required. Recently, the discovery of new drugs and the development of medical oncology promotes out-patient treatment for cancer patients. Out-patient treatment in the cancer chemotherapy center of the University of Occupational and Environmental Health Hospital has been started, and many chemotherapy regimens were verified in this center. Not only different organ-specific chemotherapies but also summarizing the oncology team are necessary for performance of the mission. We describe in this review the characteristics of the cancer chemotherapy center.
