Additionally, for those who may feel unsure about what to ask, such as:
"I’d like to consult but don’t know what to ask..."
—we provide a "Hearing Sheet" to help guide the discussion, so please feel at ease.

Based on the completed Hearing Sheet, we will provide an explanation about immunotherapy and suggest the most appropriate treatment according to your condition.
Please feel free to ask anything such as:
“About treatment methods”, “Combining with other treatments”, “Treatment costs”, etc.
After the consultation, our administrative staff will follow up with you.
