Medical Supporter — Information Notice
This article is a summary of international medical information and is not medical advice; it cannot replace the diagnosis or treatment plan of your attending physician. The medical technologies, drug information and clinical data presented here are compiled from public literature and official statements of Japanese medical institutions; the applicability and outcome of any therapy vary with each patient and must be assessed individually by a qualified physician.
Located in Kioicho, Tokyo, HASUMI Immuno Clinic is a clinic focused on cancer vaccine therapy. Since Dr. Kiichiro Hasumi developed the first generation "Hasumi Vaccine" in 1948, the clinic has continued to provide cancer vaccine therapy.
The Scientific Logic of Hasumi Vaccine (HITV)
The core of HITV (Hasumi Immuno-Therapeutic Vaccine) lies in "personalized autologous vaccines."
- Antigen Extraction: Antigens are extracted from the patient's tumor tissue or specific markers.
- Cell Education: The patient's dendritic cells are cultured in vitro and "educated" with the extracted antigens, giving them the ability to precisely identify cancer cells.
- Combined Administration: Subcutaneous injections are combined with local lesion injections, with the aim of inducing a T-cell immune response against cancer cells; actual effects vary by individual.
About Care at HASUMI
- Development History: The Hasumi Vaccine has been developed since 1948, a history of over 70 years; please ask the clinic about case numbers and supporting data during your consultation.
- Side Effects and Risks: The vaccine is made from the patient's own components; please confirm possible side effects and risks with the physician before treatment.
- Research Data: Please ask the clinic for the original sources of its long-term follow-up data during your consultation; effects vary by individual, and suitability must be judged by a physician.
