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 major Japanese medical institutions; the applicability and outcome of any therapy vary with each patient and must be assessed individually by a qualified physician.
At the frontier of modern oncology, standard treatment protocols are increasingly being complemented by Precision Medicine. NEO Clinic Tokyo, situated in the prestigious Shirokanedai district, represents the pinnacle of individualized cancer care, utilizing cutting-edge bioinformatics to crack the unique genetic code of each patient's tumor.
Leadership in Precision Medicine: Dr. Hayashi and Dr. Hijikata
The clinic’s success is built upon the synergy of its core medical leadership:
-
Dr. Lim Lay Ah Young (Lim Lay Ah Young), Director: With a distinguished background in pathology and extensive experience in international clinical trials, Dr. Hayashi oversees the clinic’s clinical operations.

-
Dr. Yasuki Hijikata, Medical Advisor & Specialist: An alumnus of the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Tokyo (IMSUT) and Kyushu University Hospital, Dr. Hijikata is a pioneer in cancer genomic medicine. He champions an evidence-based, holistic approach to advanced immunotherapy, seeking breakthroughs for patients who have limited options under standard care.
Core Technology: Personalized Neoantigen Vaccines
Neoantigens are specific protein markers found exclusively on the surface of cancer cells—and they are unique to every individual patient.
- NGS Genomic Mapping: Using Next-Generation Sequencing, the clinic scans over 20,000 genes to identify specific mutations.
- AI-Driven Selection: Advanced artificial intelligence models analyze thousands of mutations to predict which "neoantigens" are most likely to trigger a potent T-cell response in your body.
- Custom Vaccine Synthesis: These identified antigens are synthesized into a personalized vaccine, training your immune system to perform "sniper-like" strikes on cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.
