Dendritic Cell Therapy

Dendritic Cell Therapy can be described as a cancer vaccine made from your own blood. In the lab your dendritic cells are trained and multiplied to present your specific cancer to your immune system. By concentrating your body’s dendritic cells on correctly identifying your body’s cancer as a threat, then reintroducing those cells into your system, the ‘trained’ cells can boost your body’s capacity to work against the cancer —a tailored cancer treatment vaccine!

what are dendritic cells?

Dendritic cells are found in the bloodstream and are responsible for identifying threats which the body’s immune system needs to respond to. When cancer develops in the body, dendritic cells work as antigen presenters for the immune system, ultimately making cancer visible for the killer cells.These immune cells then attack the cancer and cause cancer cells to die off.

dendritic vaccines in therapy?

Within our Integrative Cancer Care Program, dendritic cell therapy is combined with immune modulation treatments to increase the amount of immune cells. Other supportive therapies are added such as Regional Hyperthermia to increase the cancer visibility
