Immunotherapy
Your Body's Shield Against Cancer

Japan's latest generation NK cell and dendritic cell immunotherapy activates and enhances the body's own immune system to precisely identify and eliminate cancer cells — 6–10 billion highly active immune cells per infusion.

What Is Immune Cell Therapy

Mobilizing the Body's Strongest Defense
Defeating Cancer from Within

Immunotherapy differs from surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation — rather than attacking tumors from outside, it activates and enhances the immune defense system already within your body, making NK cells and T cells the most precise "hunters" against cancer.

Japanese scientist Tasuku Honjo won the Nobel Prize for immune checkpoint inhibitor research, confirming Japan's global leadership in cancer immunotherapy. By activating patients' own immune cells and vastly amplifying their quantity and activity before reinfusion, a multi-level cancer defense barrier is established.

This therapy can be used synergistically with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation — enhancing overall treatment efficacy while reducing side effects of conventional treatments, helping patients maintain a better quality of life.

⚗️ Six Core Technological Innovations

Rejuvenated NK Cell Technology · Mitochondrial Activation · Dual-Cell Synergy · High-Dose Precision Infusion · Aerospace-grade Sterile Production · Multiple Government Certifications — six-dimensional technology for the strongest immune defense.

Three Immune Cell Therapies

Precisely matched immune treatment plans for different needs and stages

🛡️

NK Cell Therapy

NK (Natural Killer) cells are the body's innate cancer fighters — attacking tumors directly without needing specific antigen recognition. Rejuvenation culture technology restores NK cell activity to youthful levels, dramatically boosting killing efficiency.

🎯

Dendritic Cell Therapy

Dendritic cells are the "commanders" of the immune system, identifying tumor-specific antigens and activating T cells for precision strikes. Dendritic cell vaccine therapy trains the immune system to develop lasting, targeted memory against specific cancers.

⚔️

Dual-cell Synergy Therapy

Combining NK cells' broad-spectrum killing with dendritic cells' precision targeting builds a multi-level, three-dimensional immune defense network. This synergy doubles treatment efficacy — Japan's most advanced combination immunotherapy.

Japan's Immunotherapy Technology Barriers

Every technical innovation stems from the ultimate responsibility toward patient lives

01

Rejuvenated NK Cell Technology

A unique culture process restores age-degraded NK cell function to a youthful state, increasing killing activity several-fold and breaking through the age-related limitations on immunotherapy effectiveness.

02

Mitochondrial Activation Enhancement

Mitochondrial activation technology provides sustained energy for immune cells, allowing NK cells to maintain high-activity combat status in the body for longer — significantly improving treatment durability.

03

Dual-cell Synergy Mechanism

NK cells handle broad-spectrum immediate killing; dendritic cells provide precision targeted activation. The two cell types coordinate to cover multiple tumor escape mechanisms for more comprehensive defense.

04

High-dose Precision Infusion

Each treatment infuses 6–10 billion highly active cells — far exceeding standard treatment levels. Precise dose management ensures sufficient cells reach the lesion site for maximum therapeutic effect.

05

Aerospace-grade Sterile Production

Cell collection, culture, expansion, and infusion are all performed in Class 100 sterile cleanrooms — infection control equivalent to spacecraft component manufacturing, eliminating all production-stage safety risks.

06

Multiple Government Certifications

All partner institutions hold multiple MHLW and PMDA approvals — Japan's government's highest-level endorsement of the safety and efficacy of this therapy.

Who Is Suitable for Immune Cell Therapy

From cancer patients to high-risk groups, immune cell therapy provides multi-level protection

🏥

Cancer Patients

Combined with surgery/chemotherapy/radiotherapy — enhances overall treatment, reduces side effects, improves quality of life

⚠️

High Cancer Risk Groups

Family cancer history or high-risk genetic testing — wants to proactively strengthen immunity for prevention

🔄

Cancer Recurrence Patients

After cancer treatment, concerned about recurrence — building a long-term anti-cancer defense line

💪

Immunocompromised Individuals

Frequent infections, chronic fatigue, sub-health state — seeking systematic immune function improvement

Immunotherapy FAQ

Scientific understanding for rational cancer management

Which cancer patients is immune cell therapy suitable for? +
NK cell immunotherapy has demonstrated effects against multiple solid tumors, including lung, liver, stomach, colorectal, and breast cancers. Dendritic cell vaccine therapy shows stronger results for cancers with specific tumor antigens. Both therapies can serve as adjuvant treatments alongside surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Hematologic malignancies require individual case assessment.
Can immunotherapy be combined with chemo/radiation therapy? +
Combination is generally possible, but timing must be carefully managed. Chemotherapy temporarily suppresses the immune system, so immune cell reinfusion is usually scheduled during chemotherapy intervals or after completion. Japan's oncology specialists design an optimal synergy schedule based on your specific treatment plan.
What are the side effects of immune cell therapy? +
Because autologous cells are used, side effects are minimal. Post-infusion mild fever (37.5–38°C), fatigue, or slight injection site discomfort may occur — typically resolving within 1–2 days. Compared to chemotherapy, immune cell therapy rarely causes hair loss, nausea, or bone marrow suppression, allowing patients to maintain quality of life throughout treatment.
How much does treatment cost? Is it covered by insurance? +
Costs per course vary by treatment plan (NK cells, dendritic cells, or dual-cell combination) and number of sessions. Single infusion fees typically range ¥100,000–¥300,000 (approx. SGD 5,000–15,000). As an advanced medical therapy, domestic insurance does not apply, though some international plans may cover it. JMedPass provides detailed cost breakdowns and insurance assessment support.

Use Cases, Process, Cost and Medical Boundaries

Cancer-related immunotherapy decisions must consider pathology, staging, prior treatment, performance status and oncologist advice.

Who is it for?

People seeking a second medical opinion, Japan oncology consultation, or evaluation of cell-based immunotherapy as a possible discussion topic within comprehensive care.

How does the process work?

Medical record translation, imaging and pathology review, specialist consultation, treatment boundary explanation, cost confirmation, travel or remote follow-up coordination.

What is the cost range?

Costs vary by cell type, treatment frequency and institution. Any page-level price is only a reference; final quotation should come from the medical institution.

Risk boundaries

Cell-based immunotherapy must not replace standard treatment recommended by doctors. Combination with surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy or immuno-oncology drugs requires oncologist guidance.

Common questions

Eligibility for NK cells, dendritic cells or other programs depends on cancer type, stage, treatment history, immune markers and physician review.

Document checklist

Pathology report, staging, genetic test results, CT/MRI/PET-CT images and reports, prior treatment history, recent blood tests and treating doctor notes.

JMedPass does not promise tumor shrinkage, cure or survival benefit. Treatment choices require oncology specialist assessment.
