About
Immune Cell Therapy
Immune cell therapy is a treatment approach that harnesses the power of the patient's own immune system. The process involves extracting immune cells from the patient's body, activating and expanding them outside the body, and then reintroducing them, with the aim of supporting the body's immune response against cancer cells.
Immune Cell Therapy's Benefits
01
Your Own Cells, Your Own Defense
Because the treatment uses your own immune cells, the risk of rejection and serious side effects is considered relatively low. The focus is not only on eliminating cancer, but on supporting the body's natural ability to fight — with careful consideration for physical burden.
02
Compatible with Other Treatments
This therapy can be used alongside conventional treatments to help prevent recurrence and metastasis after surgery, or to support care for advanced-stage cancer. It can be combined with chemotherapy or radiation without interfering with existing treatment.
03
QOL※Supports Quality of Life
One of the key advantages of this therapy is that it allows patients to continue treatment while maintaining their daily routine — whether that means working, managing a household, pursuing hobbies, or traveling.

Immune Cell Therapies Offered at YR Clinic
Our treatment
Our treatment
Our clinic currently offers two main types of immune cell therapy.
Point
01
Super NK Cell Therapy
This treatment involves expanding and activating NK (Natural Killer) cells outside the body and then returning them to the body. It may respond even to cancer cells that hide their identifying markers, making it a possible option when dendritic cell vaccine therapy is not applicable. In combination with certain antibody drugs, enhanced therapeutic effects may be expected.
Point
02
Four-Component Combined Immunotherapy
This treatment involves expanding and activating multiple types of lymphocytes, such as T cells and NK cells, outside the body before returning them to the body. It aims to support the overall immune system, and when combined with chemotherapy or radiation therapy, improved therapeutic effects may be expected.

Treatment overview
Immune Cell Therapy
【Treatment Overview】
This is a form of cancer immunotherapy that works by taking the patient's own immune cells, such as NK cells and αβ T cells, activating and expanding them outside the body, then returning them through an IV infusion. It can also be used alongside standard treatments like chemotherapy and radiation as one of the supportive treatment options. This treatment is provided in accordance with Japan's Act on the Safety of Regenerative Medicine (Notification Numbers: PC3250228 / PC3250227).
【Treatment Duration & Frequency】
Each session takes about 1 hour. The number of sessions and how often they're spaced out will be decided by your physician based on your diagnosis.
Temporary sensations of warmth or fatigue may rarely be experienced; these are generally mild and tend to resolve within 1–2 days.
Temporary sensations of warmth or fatigue may rarely be experienced; these are generally mild and tend to resolve within 1–2 days.
【Key Risks & Side Effects】
You might experience some pain or swelling at the injection site, but this usually settles down within a few days. In rare cases, patients may notice a mild fever-like feeling or fatigue, though these symptoms tend to be minor and typically resolve within a day or two.
※Most side effects ease up within a few hours to a few days. If you notice any changes in how you're feeling after treatment, our specialist physicians will respond as needed based on your individual situation.
