Tackling Cancer at Its Core: Delivering Customized Immune Cell Therapy
ASIA IMMUNOTHERAPY is a medical group specializing in cancer immune cell therapy. We work in close collaboration with Japan’s leading immunotherapy authority, Dr. Yoichi Kato, to offer cutting-edge, personalized treatments—including options for late-stage patients. Because this advanced technology is not yet formally available in Hong Kong, patients currently travel to Japan for treatment. To support them throughout this journey, our one-stop service encompasses everything from gathering medical reports, arranging online consultations with Dr. Kato, and organizing travel and accommodation, to airport pick-up and professional in-person translation during the treatment process—ensuring a seamless experience.


Dr. Kato is also a shareholder and partner of Asia Immunotherapy. Our team of specialists, local scientists, and the Hong Kong Science Park laboratory collaborate closely with Dr. Kato’s scientific team in Japan to continually refine immune cell therapy techniques. In the near future, we aim to bring this innovative treatment to Hong Kong, offering more patients an advanced, high-caliber therapy and robust preventive strategies.  

Currently, at our Shin-Yokohama Kato Clinic in Japan, Dr. Kato—whose extensive clinical background and trusted reputation span many years—leads the effort to tailor sophisticated and precise immune cell therapy plans for each patient. We provide comprehensive professional support at every stage of the treatment, maximizing both effectiveness and safety.

Our Mission 
We dedicate ourselves to employing the world’s most advanced immune cell therapy techniques, backed by a top-tier team with extensive experience. By addressing cancer at its root, we offer individualized, precision treatments that safeguard every patient’s health and foster enduring hope.

Immune Cell Therapy

What Is Immune Cell Therapy?

An advanced treatment approach that leverages a patient’s own immune cells to seek out and destroy cancer cells.

Dendritic Cell (DC) Therapy

Through dendritic cell therapy, the body’s immune system can be recalibrated to its “healthy baseline,” enabling it to quickly identify and target cancer cells. This breakthrough paves the way for a safer, more effective, and longer-lasting strategy against cancer. It brings unprecedented hope to countless patients.

Lymphokine-Activated Killer Cell (LAK) Thearpy

Through LAK therapy, patients can rapidly strengthen their immune response, effectively targeting and suppressing cancer cells. Additionally, when combined with other treatments—such as dendritic cell (DC) vaccine therapy—or conventional methods, LAK therapy can yield even more comprehensive, synergistic benefits in the battle against cancer.

Natural Killer Cell (NK) Therapy

NK therapy delivers a robust immune offensive against severe diseases and cancer cells. When combined with other treatments—such as LAK therapy, dendritic cell (DC) vaccines, or conventional strategies—it often demonstrates synergistic benefits, providing patients with a proactive route back to health.

Success Rate

Compared to conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy, immunotherapy generally has fewer side effects and allows patients to maintain a higher quality of life.

Side Effects

Overall, immunotherapy side effects tend to be less severe than those seen in chemotherapy or radiotherapy, offering new hope to patients in their battle against serious diseases. By working closely with experienced physicians and maintaining healthy habits and a positive mindset, patients can minimize side effects and improve their odds of overcoming illness.

Fees

Compared to conventional treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy), immunotherapy costs are typically higher, driven by factors like research and development, drug procurement, specialized lab techniques, and a skilled medical team. However, as the technology matures, some treatments and medications are increasingly covered by insurance or governmental support, gradually reducing their out-of-pocket expense.
