Central Japan
What Makes us Unique
Japan’s first installation of the world's most advanced and innovative radiation oncology treatment system available
We are the very first hospital in Japan to install the state-of-the-art proton therapy system "Varian ProBeam ® 360°", manufactured by US based Varian Medical Systems Inc.
The 360-degree gantry rotates around the patient as the bed moves around freely, treating the tumor from several angles (3-dimensional irradiation). The pencil beam scanning technology allow the Radiation Oncologist to customize and target a patient's unique tumor size, shape and depth with unmatched precise deposition of radiation delivery.
Our facility director has over a decade of experience in using proton therapy to treat cancer.

Treatments are delivered on an outpatient basis.

Each treatment session usually takes 10 to 15 minutes.
As a Comprehensive Medical Care Facility
A coordinated approach. Our 33 clinical departments work closely together in a team.
We have state-of-the-art facilities and equipment and highly skilled and experienced multidisciplinary team work together. Other medical care specialists are there to deal with issues that go beyond cancer treatment.
We have 33 clinical departments here at Central Japan International Medical Center. We take a multidisciplinary team approach to provide care you need by a group of healthcare professionals from different disciplines collaborating and coordinating care to ensure that you can receive the most appropriate, effective care possible. A multidisciplinary allied health service allows you to access a variety of services through one single provider and support as many of your medical needs as possible if any other health issue is detected or if you suffer from radiation-induced side effects during the course of proton therapy even if you are here to receive a proton therapy for your cancer treatment in the first place.
Cancer Care you an Count on. We are “A Local Cancer Alliance's Clinical Network Hub”.
