Madison Cancer Vaccine Launch Ceremony

Chairman Danny Wong said: “The advent of cancer vaccine is the strongest gospel of cancer prevention!”

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 14 million new cancer cases are diagnosed each year worldwide, and this number is expected to reach 21 million by 2030. As global treatment costs rise, cancer prevention measures are becoming more and more important, which has also made cancer prevention and treatment a high-profile international issue. Medisun’s comprehensive introduction of cancer vaccines is undoubtedly the strongest gospel for cancer prevention. The WT1 gene is a gene representing tumorigenesis in humans, and all human cancers are associated with this genetic mutation. The Nobel Institute of Ecological Medical Sciences has discovered a pathway to inhibit mutations in the WT1 gene, which can be vaccinated to produce memory T cells that inhibit WT1 gene mutations, which are immune to humans.

In addition, Medisun is also committed to the development and clinical use of a variety of other vaccines. Most of the vaccine technology comes from the United States, investing in rapid response to the pandemic virus and cancer control vaccine technology platform, with a market size of more than 2 billion US dollars. The vaccines invested by Medisun can be modularized in Asia and China to produce vaccines that are fully compliant with the United States. Including: Zika virus, Chikungunya fever, Zika/Chikununya heat combination, Ebola virus, human papillomavirus HPV treatment vaccine, head and neck cancer, cervical cancer, cervical lesions, simple Herpesvirus HSV, hepatitis C virus HCV, hepatitis B virus HBV,etc.

Mr. Danny Wong, Chairman of Medici Medical Group, was interviewed by the media about the release of cancer vaccine.

Chairman Danny Wong specifically said: “China’s rapid economic development over the past 20 years has been accompanied by a wave of globalization. China has integrated into the international community in various fields. At the same time, China has introduced high-standard medical technologies and services from Europe, the United States and Japan. It is our mission to make full use of Hong Kong’s advantages as a mature international metropolis and special geographical factors to provide the world’s most advanced medical care to the people of the motherland.

On-site participants actively asked questions from the cancer vaccine and new cancer treatment technologies to participate in the seminar.

Medisun participates in the White House Cancer Month Plan

Mr. Terry Lierman said: “The greatest progress and breakthrough of mankind is the birth of cancer vaccine!”

Mr. Terry Lierman, a core member of the White House Cancer Month Program, the NIH of the National Institutes of Health, and the founder of the FDA Board of Directors and director of the Meditech Group, said that cancer landing is an amazing cause. It is planned to complete the treatment of 20,000 cancer patients with 60 different technologies worldwide by 2020. This is a task that would have taken at least 10 years to achieve, and we will now achieve it in 5 years. The cancer “moon landing plan” advocated by former US President Barack Obama in 2016 is also the focus of this summit. The plan is led by former Vice President Joe Biden. The goal is to break the boundaries that hinder the cooperation of researchers and accelerate the research of cancer diagnosis and treatment in the future. 5 years to double the progress of anti-cancer research. The six major US cancer “moon landing programs” include cancer vaccines, high-sensitivity cancer early detection, immunotherapy and combination therapy, single-cell genomic analysis of cancer cells and tumor microenvironment cells, new treatments for childhood cancer, and enhanced data. shared. To this end, the United States and Canada, Hong Kong, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea and other countries, the first-class research units to establish cooperative relations, large-scale joint cancer research and treatment, toward precision Medisun. The Medisun Medical Group is a member of the Cancer Month Program and will also participate in this historic mission.

Medisun introduces Mayo proton beam therapy

Dr. Michael Haddock said: “The Mayo proton beam is a great advancement in the precise treatment of cancer!”

As the Asian Medical Service Center of the Mayo Clinic in the United States, Medisun invited Dr. Michael Haddock, Chairman of the Mayo Radiation Oncology Clinical Practice Committee and Vice Chairman of the American Society of Surgery Oncology (ACOSOG) Committee to talk about radiotherapy for cancer. Dr. Haddock talked about the current Proton Bean, the world’s leading cancer radiotherapy technology, Mayo currently has the most authoritative equipment, operations and medical team for global proton beam therapy. Mayo’s proton beam therapy program is the exclusive feature of pen beam scanning. It can accurately target tumors and prevent healthy tissues from being affected, thus achieving ideal cancer treatment, especially for treating children with cancer. For cancers with high mortality and lung cancer, proton beam therapy has obvious advantages compared with traditional radiotherapy.

Application of Cord Blood

Cord blood is originated in the fetus, and collected at the umbilical cord ligation when separated from the residual placenta. Nearly a decade of research and discovered that umbilical cord blood contain the human hematopoietic and the hematopoietic stem cells of the immune system. It can be used for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, for the treatment of more than 80 kinds of diseases. Thus, the cord blood has become an important source of hematopoietic stem cells, especially for no directly related family members. The hematopoietic stem cells is a very important human biological for treatment of diseases.

Worldwide, cord blood has been used to treat various types of Leukemia, Aplastic Anemia, Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma, Neuroblastoma, Mucopolysaccharide disease, Thalassemia, Bone Marrow Dysplasia syndrome, Primary Immunodeficiency Disease, Chronic Granuloma and other 80 kinds of diseases.
