Why Chemotherapy run counter to clinical expectation

 Since  American president Richard Nickson pronounced the “war on cancer” in 1970, except a small number of Th2-belonging cancer(leukemia ・・・), it’s difficult to get rid of cancer completely even by powerful Chemotherapy today. Because………

  1. Majority of the cancers exist in Th1 cellular Immunity space. (through peripheral Div treating method, only the small quantity of the chemicals can reach the Th1 cellular Immunity space, so hard to eliminate all of the cancer cells.
  2. The  chemicals almost pooling in Th2 humoral Immunity space  and cause  the immune decline on immune-subsets.


 And these days, the traditional cancer therapy (operation, Chemo, Radiation) gives priority to cancer ablation and ignores reinforce of patient’s self-Immunity. After that, it is common to see the low immunity(the commanding tower, CD4  cells Helper-T cell subset number decreases)and comes to an incompetent situation to prevent cancer metastasis and results in  a multi-metastasis. The statistic data shows the life span for patients who use anti-cancer drugs was prolonged for only 3 months than those who don’t  use them. So during the cancer treating procedure, we not only need to get rid of cancer burden, but also need to strengthen self-Immunity.

How does the NK Cell Immunotherapy work in our immunity?

How does the NK Cell Immunotherapy work in our immunity?

As the booster role on cellular (Th1)immunity (CD8↑)

As the compensator role to maintain the CD4 T-cell subset(CD4↑) .

Not only prevent cancer but also keep a good QoL, NK cell immunotherapy yield good prognosis on cancer patients.

Immune-Harmony=self-regulation

Hypothesis of the THP (CD4) feed-back regulatory system

 After one round of NK cell infusion, the immune system directs to Th1 cells; accompanying with the increased infusions, it is shown to trend to THP cell direction slowly. Therefore, by long-term NK cell immunotherapy, it is considered that the commanding tower, CD4 cells, increases. In other words, it is indicated the fact of the enhance of immunity inside bodies by NK cell immunotherapy.

Two Types of Hyperthermia

  • Tumor Hyperthermia (Oncothermia)  Recommend for preventing recurrence(pre-operation /post-operation and patients undergoing chemotherapy)
  • Immune Hyperthermia (Oncobooster)   Recommend for enhancing immunity (patients undergoing chemotherapy (early stage) and immune-suppressed patients)

 Hippocrates once said “Those who cannot be cured by medicine can be cured by surgery. Those who cannot be cured by surgery can be cured by fire. Those who cannot be cured by fire, they are indeed incurable.” Hyperthermia, therapy that uses elevated temperature to eliminate cancer cell, has profound effects on cells with abnormal growth. In normal cells, cooling mechanism of the vessels help lower the ascending temperature. However, in abnormal cancerous cells, the cooling mechanism is malfunctioning. In recent studies, hyperthermia is proven to kill cancer cell, with temperature of 41 degrees Celsius and above. However, when the temperature is 42.5 degrees Celsius, its power in killing cancer cell becomes stronger. Tumor hyperthermia in our clinic, also known as Oncothermia, 

is also effective in assisting efficacy of both radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It can also lessen the adverse effects of anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapeutic agents).  Oncothermia uses radio wave of  13.56MHz to target only glucose found in the cell membrane of cancer cells, so the therapy is non-invasive and has no side effects. When the cancer cells are targeted by the radio wave and heated,  it undergos the “cancer vaccine insinuate effect(⇒CD8↑)”, which activates the killer T cells to help prevent recurring cancers. The therapy not only kills cancer but also serve as a patient’s personal cancer vaccine, making it an ideal treatment for cancer. The advantages of hyperthermia is a greatly expanding in clinical treatments and the results are very promising.
