At Kishiwada Tokushukai Hospital, we are dedicated to supporting your long-term health through early detection and preventive care.

Our Health Checkup Center offers advanced diagnostic services in a calm, professional environment, combining Japanese hospitality with cutting-edge medical technology.

We welcome you to experience the highest standards of Japanese medical care.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a powerful imaging technique that helps detect abnormal metabolic activity — often revealing early signs of cancer before symptoms appear.

Our PET-based health checkups are ideal for individuals seeking peace of mind through thorough and non-invasive screening. We offer whole-body PET scans combined with other diagnostic tests for a comprehensive health overview.

Did You Know?

Our hospital is equipped to perform specialized PET scans, including brain imaging for neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. While not part of routine health checkups, this advanced capability is available through our Neurology Department, and sets us apart from most PET centers.

We offer flexible health checkup options tailored to your needs:

Whole-body PET cancer screening — ¥341,000

A comprehensive scan to detect cancer at an early stage throughout the body.

PET + blood tests for tumor markers — ¥400,000

Combines PET imaging with tumor marker blood tests for more detailed evaluation.

Multilingual support and concierge service

Language assistance and personalized guidance available throughout your visit.

Our experienced medical staff and high-precision equipment allow for safe and efficient examinations, often completed in just half a day.

① Detect Hidden Cancers Early

PET scans visualize metabolic activity, often catching cancers before they are visible on CT or MRI. Perfect for individuals with no symptoms who want reassurance.

② For Those with a History of Cancer

If you’ve had cancer in the past, PET may help confirm that there’s no recurrence or metastasis.

③ Ideal for High-Risk Individuals

• Family history of cancer
• Heavy smoking, drinking, or poor lifestyle habits
• Chronic inflammation or viral infections (e.g., hepatitis, H. pylori)

④ See What Blood Tests May Miss

Not all cancers produce tumor markers. PET scans can detect abnormalities even when bloodwork looks normal.

⑤ Efficient, Half-Day Screening

PET-only health checkups are quick, non-invasive, and perfect for busy professionals or travelers.

⑥ The Value of Tumor Marker Blood Tests

Blood tests provide additional clues about cancer type and location, and may detect issues PET might overlook. Together, they offer a more complete picture.

Our PET + Blood Test package includes a panel of tumor markers to screen for cancers of the digestive system, lungs, pancreas, liver, and reproductive organs. These markers help increase detection sensitivity when used alongside imaging.

Examples include:

• CEA, CA19-9(digestive tract)
• CYFRA, ProGRP(lungs)
• Span-1, Elastase-1 (pancreas)
• AFP, PIVKA-II(liver)
• PSA(prostate – men only)
• CA-125, NCC-ST-439(ovarian/breast – women only)

Our hospital is one of the few in the region equipped to provide specialized PET imaging, including:

• Brain PET scans for neurological assessment
• Amyloid PET scans to support early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (only when medically indicated)

Although these advanced scans are not part of general health checkup programs, they are available through our Neurology Department based on clinical need. If you or your loved one is concerned about memory changes, our team can help you explore your options.
