ADVANCED
CANCER
Candidates: Patients with
advanced cancer that have had previous chemotherapy and/or radiation
and/or surgery that has failed and the patient has had recurrence or
metastasis. Age and severity of the current condition do not limit the
availability of this treatment.
Ideally we would request a
detailed summary of the patient’s records including biopsy reports,
most recent laboratory findings, x-ray results and list of all previous
treatments; an immunological profile including T and B lymphocytes,
NK cells, T cytotoxic cells and T regulatory (suppressor) cells. The
attack is focused on residual cancer stem cells that have resisted chemotherapy
or radiation effects.
Patients undergoing treatment
will receive the following approach:
-
Infusion autologous stem
cells and CD33+ and CD134+ cells i.v. over a ten minute period of
time.
-
GM-CSF (granulocyte macrophage
colony stimulating factor) 0.1 ml given slowly i.v. Use tuberculin
syringe.
-
2 hours later IL-6 (interleukin
6 and interleukin10)) given i.v plus natural killer cells and patient’s
own macrophages i.v., and CD4+ and CD8+ derived from the patient.
-
2 hours later anti Notch
0.1 ml; anti-Hedgehog 0.1 ml; and 0.1 ml anti Wnt-Catenin to be given
as three separate injections in the arms subcutaneously using a tuberculin
syringe with a half inch #27 needle. This provides a selective blockade
of growth factor signaling inhibitors for advanced cancer. These agents
induce the inhibition of growth, invasiveness and apopotoic death
of cancer cells by counteracting distinct mitotic cascades. Normal
cells are not injured to the cytotoxic effects of these agents.
-
Specific anti-gene agents
are administered depending on the nature of the cancer (details supplied
upon request)
-
Anti-angiogenesis factors
administered.
-
Specific monoclonal antibodies
administered.
-
Intravenous dendritic
cells are given with any form of cancer. (More on next page),
ALTERNATIVE METHOD:
The use of autologous stem cells from the patient would be substituted
in Step #1. This would be followed by infusion of the patient’s
own T lymphocyte NK cells that have been incubated with IL-2. The
rest of steps #2 through 4 would remain the same.
