Why Immunity Matters
Why is immune management important
during cancer treatment?
Cancer is not just a problem of tumors, but a problem of immune function, overall condition, and recovery.
Immunodeficiency, fatigue, pain, digestive problems, insomnia, and anxiety often appear simultaneously during surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
Causes & Burdens
Main Causes of Cancer-Related Immune Decline
Changes during treatment and long-term burdens must be managed together.
Treatment Process
Changes Due to Treatment Process
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy lead to decreased immune cells, reduced physical strength and weight, weakened digestive function, increased inflammatory responses, and sleep and autonomic nervous system imbalance.

Why The WellSam
Why The WellSam Integrated Cancer Immune Center?
Respect
Integrated management that does NOT "replace" cancer treatment
Respecting existing surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy,
we manage immunity and condition
before, during, and after the treatment process.
Integrative
Integrated management based on Western and Korean medicine collaboration
Combining Western medical diagnosis and safety considerations,
with Korean medicine's immune recovery and symptom alleviation
to create synergy.
Systemic
Integrated management of systemic symptoms
Chronic fatigue, insomnia, digestive disorders, pain, etc.
are managed as an integrated flow,
not as individual symptoms.
Care
Considering both patients and caregivers
"Management that sees the person, not just the cancer"
We establish caregiver consultations and long-term management plans
together.
