What are the best hospitals for lung cancer treatment in Japan?

The incidence rate of lung cancer is relatively high in China, but there is still a certain gap between lung cancer treatment technology and that of the United States and Japan, for which many patients want to go abroad to treat lung cancer, and DuoMu Health can give you help!

Japan Cancer Research Institute Ariake Hospital (Cancer Specialty Hospital)

Japan Cancer Research Institute Ariake Hospital is an early cancer specialty hospital in Japan, and its comprehensive strength is ranked as the leading hospital in Asia.

Advantages of cancer treatment:

1. Advanced equipment for cancer screening

The diagnostic and therapeutic instruments include: 320-row dynamic volumetric CT (computed tomography), 3.0 Tesla MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), gamma-ray camera (radiography), digital mammography (mammography unit), PET-CT, painless gastroscopy, painless colonoscopy. PET-CT, painless gastroscopy, painless colonoscopy.

2. Japan's leading cancer hospital, the hospital of choice for medical professionals

Over the past century, the hospital has focused on cancer screening, research and treatment, with 700 beds and 20 operating rooms, and the Cancer Research and Development Hospital (CRDH) is ranked first among the hospitals to which medical staff wish to go in the event of illness when they are surveyed every year in Japan.

3. The world's leading hospital in the field of research on new chemotherapy drugs for lung cancer treatment

Cancer Research Ariake Hospital was once honored as the world's outstanding scientific research institute by the American Science Magazine, and it has made outstanding contributions to the world not only in surgical achievements, but also in the research on new chemotherapy drugs for lung cancer, and it is possible for the hospital to receive chemotherapy for a lot of new chemotherapy drugs for lung cancer treatment that have not been marketed in China.

Japan Juntendo Hospital (Specialized Hospital for Lung Cancer Treatment)

Hospital Introduction:

Japan Juntendo Hospital has a history of more than 170 years, and Juntendo University was established in Tokyo in 1838, with the University of Medicine as the scientific research support, Japan Juntendo Hospital continues to promote the treatment of basic and clinical research, high-level medical technology and medical team not only won the people's hearts. The high level of medical technology and medical team has not only won the trust and respect of the public, but has also become the choice of the Japanese Imperial Family and political dignitaries.

In February 2012, Emperor Akihito of Japan, who was 78 years old at the time, underwent a coronary artery bypass surgery performed by cardiac surgeon Prof. Amano at Juntendo Hospital affiliated with Juntendo University in Japan. The surgery was very successful, and Emperor Akihito gave high recognition and evaluation to Prof. Amano's medical skills and Juntendo Hospital.

Strengths:

The Department of Whistleblower Surgery at Juntendo Hospital offers a more comprehensive treatment program for diseases of the respiratory system, with a focus on lung cancer. The Department of Whistleblower Surgery specializes in the treatment of the following diseases:

1. Surgical treatment of lung cancer;

2. Surgical treatment of mediastinal tumors;

3. Surgical treatment of pleural mesothelioma;

4. Surgical treatment of other diseases of the whistleblower such as pneumothorax.

Advanced Surgical Modality:da Vinci Surgical Robot Applied to Lung Cancer Surgery

Lobectomy is the standard procedure for surgical treatment of lung cancer. The previous standard of surgery was to perform an open thoracic cavity of about 10cm. In order to reduce the invasive damage to the body caused by the surgery, we have started to apply endoscopic surgery (thoracoscopy). Thoracoscopic surgery keeps the wound under 8cm and inserts the port of the thoracoscope to perform lobectomy. In order to further minimize the invasive harm to the body from the surgery, the Hospital started using the da Vinci surgical robot manufactured by IntuitiveSurgical.In 2017-2018 the Hospital performed da Vinci robotic surgery on 163 lung cancer patients. The da Vinci robotic surgery creates 5-6 ports of only 1 cm to enter the chest cavity for lung resection without incision or muscle cutting, reducing surgical trauma to a very low level. Currently, in addition to lobectomies, surgery for mediastinal tumors is beginning to use the da Vinci robot. The da Vinci will be less invasive and less traumatic than thoracoscopic surgery, and has a shorter hospital stay than thoracoscopic surgery, with a quick hospitalization time of only 2 days.

National Cancer Institute Whistleblower Surgery Center (Japan's top-ranked hospital for lung cancer treatment)

The National Cancer Institute Whistleblower Surgery Center is Japan's top-ranked hospital for lung cancer treatment, and also has a high volume of lung cancer surgeries in Japan. The hospital has more experience in clinical surgery and can provide more effective and safe treatment programs. In order to maximize the effectiveness of lung cancer treatment and survival rate, we not only rely on surgical treatment, roentgenology, radiation therapy and medical history (cancer cell diagnosis), but palliative care to ensure the quality of life is also indispensable.

Advanced proton therapy technology:

Proton therapy has also been very effective in the treatment of lung cancer. Proton therapy is known as an effective cancer treatment in the 21st century. The 3-year control rate of early non-small cell lung cancer is over 90%, liver cancer is 85%-95%, and prostate cancer is almost 100%.

Proton therapy has a very high precision, the error is only 1mm, proton therapy process, the beam speed is very high, into the human body almost does not produce friction with the human body tissues, the proton beam put to the tumor to produce high energy "Bohrag Peak" after the rapid decline, the dose is reduced to 0. An irradiation time may be less than 1 minute.

Proton therapy has high tumor killing power and good therapeutic effect; it can accurately attack the tumor cells and has little burden on the body; it is effective in eradicating tumors and has a low recurrence rate.

When treating lung cancer, it can effectively protect healthy lung tissues, esophagus, heart and cristae around lung tumors from radiation damage.

The cost of treatment abroad is theoretically more expensive than at home, but different treatment programs and different conditions result in different prices for treating cancer. However, it is worth noting that Japan's medical technology and quality of service to a certain extent is higher than in our country, although it may cost a little more, but the results achieved will be very good, Duo Mutual Health can give you an assessment of the recommendations.
