Treatment involving the application of the Hasumi Vaccine in a
clinical setting began in 1948. At that time, medical science was
not mature enough to prove the physiological activity of the Hasumi
Vaccine at the clinical level and gaining the necessary proof had
long been a problem to Shukokai Incorporated. Their patience was
finally rewarded. After more than fifty years, a joint research
project between Shukokai Incorporated and the University of Maryland
produced the long awaited evidence and the physiological activity
of the Hasumi Vaccine was successfully demonstrated on dendritic
cells, a part of the white blood cells.
To date, more than 130,000 people have been treated with the Hasumi
Vaccine and today approximately 16,000 people in Japan and 6,000
people overseas are in continuing treatment with the vaccine. The
therapeutic advantage of the Hasumi Vaccine has been demonstrated
to prevent recurrence after a cancer operation. Approximately one-third
of the patients are taking the vaccine against a secondary cancer,
and though they are rather rare cases, some terminally grown tumors
have been reported to vanish.
In addition to cancer vaccines, Shukokai Incorporated clinically
applies other types of immunotherapy, such as cellular therapies
including LAK therapy and DC therapy. A telephone consultation service
is also established within the clinic and provides patients and
their families with access to consultants who can give information
and guidance pertaining to cancer, immunotherapy, and the patient's
symptoms. Additionally, the clinic is conducting joint research
with several Chinese colleges of traditional Chinese medicine and
Japanese medical colleges, producing immunotherapeutic Chinese traditional
medicine.
