Currently, more than 10,000 people per year* come to the Center for comprehensive medical checkups.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-note\">\n<li>*17,516 patients from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As the Center works closely with the respective hospital clinical departments, if a disease is discovered in the comprehensive medical checkup, patients can promptly undergo further testing\/treatment at the hospital. In addition, the comprehensive medical checkup system used at the Center is tied into the electronic medical records that can be viewed by the respective clinical departments at the hospital. This enables the smoother sharing of information and treatment.<\/p>\n<h2>Philosophy<\/h2>\n<p>We are committed to providing patient-centered health checkups and striving to maintain and promote people\u2019s health through disease prevention, early detection, and early treatment.<\/p>\n<h2>Basic Policies<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Respect for the rights and dignity of patients<\/li>\n<li>Offering safe, accurate, and comfortable health checkups<\/li>\n<li>Compliance with personal information protection<\/li>\n<li>Utilization of ICT in health checkups and contribution to society<\/li>\n<li>Development of health screening and promotion of development within the community and workplace<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"underline\">(2) Policy<\/h2>\n<p>The mission of the Center is to ensure the early detection and prevention of major diseases such as cancer and lifestyle related diseases. Lifestyle related diseases is the general term for diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, gout, kidney disease, ischemic heart disease, and cerebral infarction. If lifestyle related diseases or the risk of these diseases is discovered through the comprehensive medical checkup, hospital physicians will give appropriate guidance.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"underline\">(3) Our Strengths<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"leftalign\">Endoscopy examinations that enhance the rate of detection of gastric cancer<\/h3>\n<p>The Center emphasizes thorough endoscopy examinations in order to raise the rate of detection of gastric cancer and esophageal cancer that can be cured through endoscopic treatment if detected early. Gastric cancer screenings using endoscopy are conducted by a board certified fellow of the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society affiliated with the hospital\u2019s Endoscopy Center in an effort to detect early stage gastric cancer and esophageal cancer that is difficult to detect through barium tests and stomach X-rays.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"leftalign\">Chest CT and multiple checks to detect lung cancer<\/h3>\n<p>In the hospital\u2019s comprehensive medical checkup, lung cancer screenings are conducted using a low-dose CT on patients aged 40 and above to enable the early detection of lung cancer. When confirming the data received from the tests, multiple checks are conducted by three physicians including a physician from Radiology in an effort to ensure that lung cancer is detected and not overlooked.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"leftalign\">Efficient testing in a short period of time<\/h3>\n<p>The Center\u2019s comprehensive medical checkups strive to enable patients to undergo various tests (physical measurement, electrocardiography, chest CT, etc.) in a short period of time, and in the case of the one-day course where patients arrive at 8:15 in the morning, all tests can be completed by around 1:00 p.m.*<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-note\">\n<li>*Patients who signed up for optional tests will finish after 1:00 p.m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As the various tests are conducted by hospital staff using the hospital\u2019s testing equipment, patients are able to receive the same highly accurate tests as patients who are already being treated at the hospital.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 class=\"underline\">Message to our patients<\/h2>\n<p>As we enter the era of 100 year lifespans, in addition to \u201csecondary prevention\u201d with the early detection of diseases, \u201cpreliminary prevention\u201d that prevents the onset of the disease itself (not getting sick) will become increasingly important.<br \/>\nAmong the leading causes of death in Japan, such as cancer and atherosclerotic diseases (including myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular disorders), many cases are influenced by factors such as smoking, diet, exercise habits, and obesity. Consciously correcting lifestyle habits that may be risk factors for disease from when we are young is extremely important for living a healthy life true to yourself.<br \/>\nComprehensive medical checkups are a meaningful system that comprehensively provide this kind of preventive medicine. Please take this opportunity to undergo a comprehensive medical checkup at the Center and make use of it in ensuring your healthy longevity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"alignright\">From Director Hiromu Inoue<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/\u3053\u3053\u307e\u3067 \u8a3a\u7642\u79d1\u30fb\u90e8\u9580\u7d39\u4ecb \u672c\u6587 \u5185 --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Center for Preventive Medicine (1) Overview The Center for Preventive Medicine is a site that conducts compreh&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":85,"menu_order":13,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-312","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nmct.ntt-east.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nmct.ntt-east.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nmct.ntt-east.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nmct.ntt-east.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nmct.ntt-east.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.nmct.ntt-east.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/312\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1548,"href":"https:\/\/www.nmct.ntt-east.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/312\/revisions\/1548"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nmct.ntt-east.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/85"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nmct.ntt-east.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
