Yamagata Prefectural Central Hospital

Takeshi Suto's research has significantly contributed to various fields of oncology and rheumatology. In oncology, studies have explored peritoneal lavage cytology in patients with curative resection for stage II-III colorectal cancer, lymphatic spread patterns in young versus elderly patients with stage III colon cancer, and the impact of bismards on postoperative complications in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In rheumatology, research has focused on the comparison of effectiveness of methotrexate in patients with late-onset versus younger-onset rheumatoid arthritis, high disease activity's influence on vertebral fractures, and the efficacy of switching from originator etanercept to biosimilar YLB113 in real-world patients. These studies have provided valuable insights into diagnosis, treatment, and management of these conditions, highlighting the importance of accurate cytology, lymph node mapping, and disease-modifying therapies.
