Saisei Mirai, based in Osaka, Japan, is a medical organization specializing in cancer immunotherapy. The name Saisei Mirai is derived from the Japanese words for regeneration and future. It is our mission to provide cancer patients with the latest, most effective treatments while also ensuring the best possible quality of life. Cancer immunotherapy is the use of the immune system to reject cancer. In particular, it involves stimulating the patient’s immune system to locate and eliminate the cells that are cancerous. This is achieved with immune cells such as Natural Killer cells (NK cells), T Lymphocytes, Dendritic Cells (DC), and macrophages, among others. A variety of treatments, such as GcMAF, Hyper T/NK cells, Coley vaccine, gene therapy, cancer vaccines, and intravenous high-dose vitamin C or α-lipoic acid are routinely used to stimulate the immune system. The immune system is the body’s vital self defense that protects against disease. It can recognize a wide variety of pathogens found in the environment and even tumor cells borne within the human body. The mechanisms of protection fall into two broad categories—innate immunity and adaptive immunity. There are several types of cells in the innate immune system: phagocytic neutrophils; macrophages; dendritic cells; mast cells; and natural killer (NK) cells. The adaptive immune system is comprised of the lymphocytes, both T cells and B cells, which are able to recognize and remember specific pathogens, and their products, including antibodies.
The progression of many diseases, such as cancer and AIDS, follows the collapse of the immune system. We now know that stimulating the immune system can halt or even reverse such diseases. Immunotherapy has become an attractive new strategy in the treatment of cancer1. The laboratory and clinical study of cancer
