Uterine Cancer

The goal of cancer immunotherapy is to improve the body natural ability to find and destroy cancer cells. Successful immunotherapeutic approaches stimulate the natural defenses of the immune system and provide new ways to attack cancer. This is possible with comprehensive interventions that include cell therapy / immuno-pharmacological therapy in combination with nutritional, endocrine measures and supplements.

Cancer vaccines deliver a cancer-specific protein to the body and direct the immune system to target cells that contain that protein.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T-cell immunotherapy involves taking the patient’s T cells, genetically engineering the T cells to produce receptors that direct them to the cancer cells, and returning these CAR T cells to the patient’s body (NCI 2017b).

T-cell Modulators are peptide chains composed of tens of amino acids that appear to store all the experience of the immune system. The great intellectual leap to understand is that T-cell Modulators do not transfer antibodies nor create them directly, but its function is to educate, and teach the immune cells to recognize specific antigens that could happen to them unnoticed

T-cell Modulators do not cure anything but work to make a “smarter” immune system so that it is the body itself eliminating disease. They are therefore vital in developing the strategies of the immune system against cancer.

T-cell Modulators contains several immunoactive components that have been shown to act synergistically in raising Dendritic and NK function.

Hyperthermia involves the use of heat to directly treat a tumor or increase the vulnerability of cancer cells to other forms of treatment, such as immunotherapy, vitamin C, chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Non-ablative or mild hyperthermia (HT) has been shown in preclinical and clinical studies as a localized sensitizer that enhances the tumoricidal effects of immunetherapy, radiation or chemotherapy.

A novel, minimally invasive interventional technique, HT has been suggested to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy for solid organ tumors.

Mistletoe helps fight tumor-induced immune suppression. Natural killer cells (NK) are a type of white blood cell that looks for and destroys uterine  cancer cells.

Mistletoe preparations such as Iscador are commonly used in complementary medication for many cancer indications, particularly solid cancers. An effect of long-term Iscador therapy on tumor progression was not seen. In conclusion mistletoe may have the effect of prolonging overall survival of cervical cancer patients.

Glutathione is the most important antioxidant produced by your body and a master detoxifier of every cell in your body. It prevents cellular damage caused by free radicals and peroxides. Glutathione metabolism is able to play both protective and pathogenic roles. It is crucial in the removal and detoxification of carcinogens, and alterations in this pathway can have a profound effect on cell survival.

Intracellular glutathione (GSH) has been shown to play an important role in modulating the cellular response to many cytotoxic agents, including radiation and chemotherapeutic drugs.

A typical diet, characterized by dependence on animal products, refined carbohydrates and unhealthy fats such as processed vegetable oils, can promote an inflammatory environment in the body.

We custom-make a diet targeted to enhance the immune system’s ability to heal and provide our patients with the right nutrition for their current and long-term needs.

Based on different studies and reviews, it appears that vitamin D may reduce the risk of uterine cancer. Vitamin D has been shown to block the growth of cancer tumors. Vitamin D is processed by the liver. The body then produces calcitriol, an active form of vitamin D. Calcitriol provides numerous benefits against cancer. This form of vitamin D encourages cells to either adapt to their organ or commit apoptosis (cell suicide). Calcitriol also limits blood supply to the tumor and reduces the spread of cancer.

Melatonin, a hormone best known for its role in regulating sleep, is also emerging as a promising anti-cancer agent. Evidence to date has shown that melatonin can interfere with cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis.

Melatonin has anti-tumor activity via several mechanisms including its anti-proliferative and pro apoptotic effects as well as its potent pro-oxidant action in tumor cells.

These fatty acids have many health benefits and may even slow the growth of prostate cancer. In laboratory and animal studies, omega-3 fatty acids were found to inhibit inflammation, interfere with blood vessel growth in tumors, and cause cancer cells to die.

The omega-3-fatty acids, found in fish oils from cold water fish, such as salmon and cod, inhibit proliferation and metastasis of many cancerous cells such as malignant breast cells, In cell culture, we determined that the omega-3-fatty acid, DHA, not only caused growth arrest of pre-cancerous cells (keratinocytes immortalized by the highly oncogenic HPV16) but also growth inhibition of keratinocytes from benign tumors with an HPV etiology.

Curcumin, a carotenoid pigment extracted from the spice turmeric, has well-established anti inflammatory and oxidative stress-reducing effects. Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide. Curcumin (CUR) is a well-known natural compound, which exhibits excellent anti-cancer potential by regulating many proliferative, oncogenic, and chemo resistance associated genes/proteins.
