How is it different from a health checkup?
The purpose of "clarifying the current health condition, early detection of health abnormalities, and maintaining / improving health" is the same, but the biggest difference is the number of test items. Health examinations cover all the examination items required by law, but at the Human Dock, it is possible to investigate the health condition in detail and make a comprehensive diagnosis by performing more examinations. In addition, one of the features of the human dock is that you can select and combine plans and inspection items according to your purpose.
The human dock is voluntarily examined by those who want to undergo a more comprehensive and detailed examination. Therefore, it is not covered by health insurance, and it costs money and time. The Industrial Safety and Health Act requires that health examinations be conducted at least once a year on a regular basis, but human docks are not legally required to undergo medical examinations. However, at the Tokyo International Clinic, we recommend that you visit the Human Dock when you are in your 30s or 40s.

What is a human dock?
The "dock" of the human dock is the "dock", a facility for ship repair and construction. It is said that it was likened to a place to enter for inspection and repair so that an accident would not occur on the next voyage. Like ships, the word was born from a unique Japanese idea from the perspective of preventive medicine, which requires regular inspections and maintenance of the human body.
It is broadly divided into a "basic dock" that focuses on inspection items related to lifestyle-related diseases and a "specialized dock" that detects diseases with a high risk of death such as cancer, brain, and heart. The purpose is to understand the tendency of illnesses that are likely to occur in the future, including early detection of illnesses.
See by numbers
1 Transition of examinees
Due to growing health consciousness, the number of human dock examinees for the purpose of early detection and treatment of illness is increasing year by year. The number of examinees is increasing at our hospital as well, especially in the situation that "we have many subordinates and have social responsibility" and "we are responsible for supporting parents and children at home". Therefore, more and more people are being examined because they want to take responsibility for their own health.
2 Number of cancers found in the dock
With the improvement of examination accuracy and the introduction of new test methods, the number of cases of breast cancer in women, prostate cancer in men, and stomach cancer in both men and women has increased remarkably in the last 10 years. At our hospital, which has specialists in each department, we enable early detection of cancer by examining the entire body from multiple perspectives.
3 Cancer probability
The government enforced the 2007 Basic Law on Cancer Control as an initiative to tackle "cancer," which has been the leading cause of death in Japan for many years and whose morbidity has been on the rise due to the aging population and low consultation rate. .. The goal is to reduce the cancer mortality rate by 20% within 10 years, and one of the pillars is to strengthen "cancer screening".
4 Lifestyle-related diseases
Lifestyle-related diseases are caused by unbalanced diet, lack of exercise, smoking, excessive drinking, and excessive stress, but overall, the six abnormalities that are risk factors for lifestyle-related diseases are increasing year by year. .. Typical diseases include myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and cancer. At this hospital, we also provide lifestyle improvement guidance by professionals such as diabetes specialists and registered dietitians.
