Treatment of metastases

As an affected patient, you are aware of one thing: when you are diagnosed with cancer, everything changes, from your quality of life to your everyday life. Surgical removal of the primary tumor is often attempted. If this does not work, radiotherapy or chemotherapy is tried, and hormone therapy is also used for certain types of cancer. Most doctors who do not work scientifically are skeptical of the new forms of therapy. The times are fast-moving and patients want solutions without damaging their immune system. But what about metastases? It is well known that mutated cancer cells spread throughout the body via the bloodstream. The primary tumor stands out and is fought, and the metastases? Chemotherapy is supposed to inhibit cell division, the cancer cell is supposed to die; however, chemotherapy is often ineffective. The metastases continue to grow, even if the primary tumor has been successfully treated. A few years later, the new cancer appears and treatment becomes more difficult. Why not go new ways, natural ways like nature does, we help a little.

After all, dendritic cells are designed by nature to fulfill precisely this purpose. There was also a Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2011. Immunotherapy with dendritic cells offers new perspectives in the fight against cancer. It is an example of how scientific discoveries can be directly translated into practical applications to improve lives and give hope.

Let's take the example of breast cancer, breast carcinoma

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, accounting for 30% of all cancers worldwide. In men, it only occurs very rarely in 1% of cases. The incidence is around 150 new cases per 100,000 women. Breast carcinomas are most common between the 6th and 7th decade of life; they rarely occur before the age of 35.

Certain cells in the mammary gland change their genes and multiply uncontrollably. They proliferate into healthy tissue (invasive growth) and destroy it.

Classical treatment of breast cancer:
The following treatment options are available for breast cancer: Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, (anti-) hormone therapy and targeted therapies such as antibody therapy.

Side effects of conventional treatment:
Surgery risks and side effects: rarely wound healing disorders, severe pain and often infections.
Chemotherapy:
Unfortunately also damages healthy cells. Attack of cells of the intestinal mucosa with high division rate, bone marrow damage, increased susceptibility to infections, anaemia, coagulation disorders, tiredness, exhaustion, hair loss, nausea and vomiting, bleeding from all body orifices.

Irradiation:
Reddening of the skin, thickening, discoloration and increased sensitivity to irritation. The destruction of cancer cells often leads to the formation of metastases. Impaired lung function due to scarring, frequent heart disease (heart attacks) and thyroid disorders.

Anti-hormone therapy: is used when breast carcinomas have oestrogen and/or progesterone receptors. Possible side effects are: Menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes and mood swings.

Antibody therapy:
Side effects include chills, fever, headaches and aching limbs, nausea and vomiting.

Mortality rate:
Over 18,000 women die of breast cancer every year, but around 87% of all women are still alive after 5 years. Over 80% of new cases of malignant tumors are diagnosed between 6 and 8 years after the initial diagnosis. In most cases, no cure is possible.

Mastectomy, the removal of one or both breasts, is performed when the tumor is completely removed. Instead of wearing a breast prosthesis, the removed breast can also be reconstructed. After a mastectomy, a recurrence can also occur in other organs such as the liver, lungs, bones or brain.

Immunotherapy, alternative cancer treatments:

There are now many alternative and combined therapy options for breast cancer. In the last 10 years, studies have shown that one form of therapy is not only gentle but also effective.
Immunotherapy with the body's own dendritic cells, which are produced from the blood of the affected patients.

Dendritic cell therapy loaded with tumor antigens offers the affected patient a 93% chance of remission, of which over 50% is full remission, i.e. no tumor or metastases can be detected.

There is also the possibility of a combination therapy such as chemotherapy, radio therapy, hormone therapy or hyperthermia.

Studies show that side effects are alleviated, no rejection as it is made from the body's own cells, and the side effects of chemotherapy, radio therapy or hormone therapy are also alleviated with combination therapy.

Therapy with autologous dendritic cells is very effective and, in the case of breast cancer, without the serious side effects of other forms of therapy. Only flu-like symptoms occur, which subside quickly.
