宮内 昭 みやうち あきら 先生

甲状腺・副甲状腺疾患の診療・研究に40年以上携わってきた。特に甲状腺がんの診断と治療を専門とし、この手術にともなう反回神経麻痺に対する頸神経ワナ・反回神経吻合による再建を日本で最初に考案・施行した。また急性化膿性甲状腺炎の原因となる一種の発生異常の存在を世界で初めて発見し、下咽頭梨状窩瘻と名付けた。カルシトニンのダブリングタイム(Ct-DT)が髄様がんの予後因子であることを世界で初めて報告し、最近ではサイログロブリンのダブリングタイム(Tg-DT)が乳頭がんの強力な予後因子であることを見出している。最近、小さい甲状腺乳頭癌が世界的に増加し、その取扱いが問題となっている。宮内の提唱により1993年から隈病院では世界で初めて低リスクの甲状腺微小乳頭癌に対して、非手術経過観察を行っており、大多数の微小癌は進行しないこと、少し進行してもその時点で手術を行えば手遅れとはならないこと、隈病院のような専門病院で手術を行っても、手術群の方が経過観察群より声帯麻痺などの不都合事象が多いことを明らかにした。この成果は2015年版アメリカ甲状腺学会の甲状腺腫瘍取扱いガイドラインに大きく取り上げられた。
