Early detection is essential in preventing deaths caused by gastrointestinal and other cancers. Our mission is to raise global awareness about the importance of endoscopic screening for preventive medicine.
Features
Background of Our Establishment
Endoscopic medicine—pioneered and widely used in Japan—has transformed cancer detection. However, many regions still lack access to this life-saving technology. Our foundation aims to change that.
Message from the Founder
“As a physician, I have stood beside many cancer patients in their final moments—haunted by the thought: ‘If only they had undergone endoscopic screening.’ Through this foundation, we are working to build a world where no one is left behind in the fight against cancer.”
— Dr. Masashi Fujii, Founder & Chairman
