Feature
◎ Due to maintenance of the heavy ion beam irradiation system, the therapy can only be conducted between early April and late July and between early September and the middle of February.
◎ For non-native Japanese patients, this will mean that you will need to secure the services of a personal interpreter during the course of your hospital visit. For the patient's ease and safe treatment, patients should be accompanied by own interpreter in all days you come to the hospital.
If you have difficulties finding a personal interpreter and arranging your visit on your own, 'Medical Excellence JAPAN' provides an assistance service for patients from overseas. It is an organization supported by The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
