Biography

Dr. Miyamoto is a surgical pathologist and the Director of Genitourinary Pathology. He is trained and has worked both as a urologist and as a pathologist. He has also been engaged in research mainly involving bladder and prostate cancers.

Research

Dr. Miyamoto’s primary research interest includes molecular biology of steroid hormone receptors in genitourinary tumors. Specifically, he has been investigating the role of androgen receptor signaling in promoting the development and progression of bladder cancer, as well as resistance to non-surgical therapy. Epidemiological and clinical data indicate that men have a substantially higher risk of bladder cancer, and the underlying mechanisms of how androgens regulate bladder cancer outgrowth will offer explanations for this gender-specific difference. Additionally, as a surgical pathologist, he has been assessing the histopathological and immunohistochemical features of genitourinary cancers primarily to improve their risk stratification.
