- Program Summary
- NKT cell-targeted cancer immunotherapy is an innovative cancer immunotherapy that artificially activates NKT cells, the command center of the immune system. This transforms the immune environment in cancerous tissues, enabling a sustained attack on cancer cells. Clinical trials jointly conducted by Chiba University Hospital and RIKEN have demonstrated its safety and efficacy. Over 500 patients in Japan have already undergone this treatment. At our clinic, the therapy is supervised by doctors with expertise in regenerative medicine, cultivated through their work at Kyoto University’s iPS Cell Research Institute.This therapy is effective for all cancer stages and nearly all types of cancer and can be combined with standard treatments. Additionally, as it uses the patient’s own cells, it has minimal side effects. The treatment involves outpatient care through intravenous or subcutaneous injections, eliminating the need for hospitalization.
