Immunotherapy Treatments

Therapeutic vaccines, which are administered to cancer patients, are designed to treat cancer by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack human cancer cells without harming normal cells. They strengthen the body's natural defenses against cancers that have already began developing.

At RCC we have effectively designed a vaccine for treating cancer by utilizing various strategies enabling the immune system to respond effectively against the disease.

One is to identify unusual  or unique cancer cell antigens that are rarely present on normal cells, involve making the tumor-associated antigen more immunogenic, or more likely to cause an immune response.

The vaccines have individually shown some promise, it is likely to be one of our best strategies to combat cancer cells.

Here at RCC we apply various methods and techniques to make specialized vaccines. For more information about the types of vaccines that we use, contact us by emailing info@rubiocancercenter.com or calling us toll-free to 1-866-519-9960

Interferons have been shown to improve the way a cancer patient's immune system acts against cancer cells. Interferons may work directly on cancer cells to slow their growth, or they may cause cancer cells to change into with more normal behaviour. Some interferons may also stimulate natural killer cells (NK) cells, T cells, and macrophages.

Interleukins stimulate the growth and activity of immune cells, such as lymphocytes, which work to destroy cancer cells.

Colony-Stimulating Factors (CSFs) are proteins given to patients to encourage stem cells within the bone marrow to produce more blood cells. The body constantly needs new white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets, especially when cancer is present. CSFs are given, along with chemotherapy, to help boost the immune system. When cancer patients receive chemotherapy, the bone marrow's ability to produce new blood cells is suppressed, making patients more prone to developing infections. Parts of the immune system cannot function without blood cells, thus colony-stimulating factors encourage the bone marrow stem cells to produce white blood cells, platelets, and red blood cells.

Monoclonal antibodies are cancer destroying agents that are introduced into the body. They seek out the antibodies and kill the cancer cells. Monoclonal antibody agents do not destroy healthy cells.
