Cancer & Metastases: The role of apoptosis - and how adjuvant therapies can support it

Many cancer cells manage to switch off natural cell death - known as apoptosis. It is precisely this "safety mechanism" in the healthy body that ensures that defective cells are broken down in an orderly fashion and replaced by new, healthy cells.
In the case of metastases, it is particularly important to reactivate or support this protective function, as this prevents tumor cells from continuing to multiply uncontrollably.

Apoptosis - simply explained

Think of apoptosis as an integrated repair and clean-up program.

Cancer cells often block this program.

Medical treatments therefore aim to damage tumor cells and/or support the immune system so that abnormal cells can be recognized and disposed of.

Why this is particularly important for metastases

Metastases mean that tumor cells are active in several places in the body.

In addition to local therapies (e.g. surgery, radiotherapy), systemic control is therefore required - i.e. support throughout the entire body.

If apoptosis is triggered again, destroyed or weakened tumor cells can be better eliminated from circulation.

Combinations - sensible and medically planned

Standard therapies (surgery, radiotherapy, medication) remain the basis.

Accompanying immune support can help to stabilize immune functions and promote pro-apoptotic signals - without replacing standard therapies.

Examples include immunological approaches (e.g. dendritic cell therapy) and - if recommended by a doctor - immune boosting programs such as ImmuSeroForte.

Important: No promises of a cure. The decision is individual and belongs in the hands of your medical team.

Measure instead of guessing: Monitoring provides certainty

Regular checks help you to check the effect of your treatment and make timely adjustments:

"tumour count" (standardized progression measurement)

Laboratory values (e.g. blood count, inflammation markers, tumor-specific markers)

Imaging (e.g. CT/MRI, PET/CT if necessary)

Typical measurement points are before the start (baseline), during therapy and after completion of a treatment series.

What you can do specifically

Ask questions: "How does my therapy support apoptosis?" - "Which combination makes sense for me?"

Clarify timing: "What are the ideal intervals between radiotherapy/chemo and immune boosting?"

Plan controls: "Which monitoring appointments (tumor count, laboratory, imaging) are planned?"

Know the warning signs: Persistent fever, new severe pain or signs of infection should be checked by a doctor immediately.

Note: This information is intended for patients and does not replace medical advice. Your treatment team will decide whether and which accompanying measures - e.g. ImmuSeroForte or dendritic cell therapy - are appropriate in your case.
