For cancer treatment after surgery

If diagnosed with cancer・・・

  • The strongest means of curing cancer is surgical treatment. If no cancer cells remain after removal, there is a high possibility of complete cure.
  • However, it is difficult to beat cancer scattered throughout the body.

Fighting Cancer with Immunity？

  • Cancer immuno-cell therapy is believed to be effective in combination with surgery in preventing recurrence after surgery.
  • The body’s innate immunity (immune cells) is utilized to fight cancer.
  • The use of your own cells will not cause serious side effects.

Canine Killer Cell Therapy

  • It is an immunotherapy in which natural killer cells (NK cells) are stimulated and activated by culture technology from the patient’s own blood, and then returned to the body.

What to Expect/Benefits

  • It attacks any type of cancer.
  • It also attacks metastatic cancer that grows while changing its properties.
  • It attacks “small cancers” scattered throughout the body more specifically.
  • Because the treatment uses the patient’s own blood, there are few side effects.
  • Quality of life (QOL) can be improved.

What you need to understand / disadvantage

  • You can’t reduce a “big cancer” all at once.
  • Since the culture is tailor-made, it is time-consuming and costly.

On receiving treatment

  • When undergoing NK cell therapy, your veterinarian should provide you with a detailed explanation of the treatment method, possible side effects, and the cost of treatment.
