Benefits of AIET & hyperthermia: Whileincrease in survival rate in cancer patients is reported by adding immune-cell therapy to conventional treatment regimen, the Hyperthermia system developed in Japan further improves outcome of cancer treatment as it targets the cancer cells, vulnerable to damage at a higher temperature of 42 Deg Celsius.To propagate these add-on cancer treatments to overseas hospitals, GNC Japan is collaborating with Yamamoto Vinita, manufacturers of Thermotron, the first hyperthermia equipment to treat malignant tumors, approved in Japan, installed in more than 300 hospitals in six countries, till date. The latest Thermotron-RF8-EX version is a stand-alone system with Eight MHZ radiofrequency, uses electrodes of different sizes in combination to treat superficial and deep-seated solid tumors of the entire body except eye and brain.
Thermotron RF8-EX Salient features:
- Enhances the beneficial effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy
- Improves immunity and also the quality of life of cancer patients
- No radiation and therefore no need for any shielding
- Easy raise of temperature of the target lesion region
- Safety track record since 1980 in more the 300 cancer hospitals
Hospitals in Japan offering these cancer therapies receive patients from abroad for treatment. Recently overseas cancer hospitals have started showing interest in adding these two therapies to their existing systems for cancer treatment in clinical oncology services.
Accomplishments of GN Corporation, in adding value to Japanese technologies by inter-disciplinary interaction, developing novel healthcare solutions and global propagation were featured by Govt of Japan in the official YouTube channel of the prime minister’s office of Japan, JETRO Invest in Japan portal and a feature story sponsored by Govt of Japan in Bloomberg.
