Types of immune-cell therapy
The clinic uses “Super Immune Therapy” to refer to αβ T-cell therapy. It is separate from NK-cell therapy. Check the cells used, method and fees for each treatment.
What to discuss first
We review your current diagnosis, treatment history and your treating physician's plan. If you are being treated for cancer or another condition, discuss how immune-cell therapy relates to standard treatment and could affect it with the physicians involved in your care.
From blood draw to infusion
According to the clinic's publicly available explanation and consent documents (version 1.0, dated 10 December 2025), we draw your blood and commission MEDINET Co., Ltd. to prepare the cells. We then administer the cells by intravenous infusion at the clinic. Quality testing or transport can affect whether treatment can take place on the planned date.
Proposed αβ T-cell therapy schedule
The public document gives a blood draw of about 24 mL and a preparation period of about 2 weeks. The planned schedule is 6 infusions at 2-week intervals. The interval and number may be adjusted according to your health.
Proposed NK-cell therapy schedule
The public document gives a blood draw of about 72 mL and a preparation period of about 3 weeks. The planned schedule is 6 infusions at 3-week intervals. The interval and number may be adjusted according to your health. Confirm your individual plan and the visits needed before starting.
Who is ineligible
The public documents list exclusions including age under 18, positive HIV or HTLV-1 antibodies, malignant lymphoma or leukaemia of T-cell or NK-cell origin, previous allogeneic transplantation, a history or signs of interstitial pneumonia, active autoimmune disease, pregnancy or possible pregnancy, and breastfeeding. The physician checks your history and current treatment to decide whether it is suitable.
Fees and visits
In addition to the per-session fee, check costs for tests, cell processing, administration and follow-up, how many visits are needed and what happens if you discontinue treatment.
Process described in the clinic's public documents
αβ T-cell therapy and NK-cell therapy differ in the cells used, preparation time and planned visit intervals. The table compares the schedules in the clinic's publicly available documents (version 1.0, dated 10 December 2025). Individual schedules depend on your health and treatment plan.
How immune cells work in the body and the effects of a treatment that collects, prepares and administers cells are separate questions. National Cancer Center Japan advises checking effectiveness, safety and costs carefully when considering self-pay immunotherapy. Effectiveness and cancer prevention are not guaranteed. Do not stop standard treatment on your own. Discuss the plan with your treating physician.

Precautions and risks
The clinic's publicly available documents describe pain, feeling unwell and dizziness from blood collection, and fever, fatigue, itching, injection site reactions and allergic reactions such as rash or cough after infusion. Because blood-derived materials are handled, the risk of infection cannot be fully eliminated. Tell your physician if you notice any unusual symptoms. Effectiveness is not guaranteed.
