Prostate Cancer Treatment in San Francisco

Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in San Francisco?

Prostate Cancer forms in tissues of the prostate, which is a gland in

the male reproductive system.

Prostate cancer is the second most common male cancer in the

United States affecting about one in six men. Only skin cancer is
more common. Prostate cancer mostly occurs in older men.

For 2008 the American Cancer Society estimated approximately

186,320 new cases of prostate cancer and 28,660 deaths.

The prostate gland is about the size of a walnut that surrounds the
neck of the bladder and the urethra. It produces the seminal fluid that
nourishes and transports the sperm. The prostate gland consists of a
middle lobe and two side lobes, which are covered by a membrane
called the capsule that produces prostate-specific antigen. This is also
called PSA, which is used as a tumor marker.

Prostate cancer usually grows slowly and initially remains confined to

the prostate gland, where it may not cause serious harm. Once
prostate cancer has spread beyond the capsule it usually metastasizes
to the pelvis, ribs, and vertebral bodies.

The conventional treatment of prostate cancer is comprised of surgery,

radiation, chemotherapy and hormone treatment. Surgery for prostate
cancer is feared the most because it can cause side effects such as
bladder control problems and erectile dysfunction leading to
impotence.

Although conventional cancer therapies have been greatly improved in

recent years, they are merely aimed at the malignancy and ignore,
and sometimes aggravate, the underlying condition, which led to the
formation of the tumor in the first place.
As long as the preconditions for the growth of cancerous
tumors are not corrected, the high risk of disease progression
and recurrence remains.

Studies revealed that the optimal strategy in the fight against

prostate cancer, and other cancers, integrates Conventional
Treatments with non-toxic Immunotherapy designed to restore
the natural regulatory, repair and immune functions, thus achieving
better outcomes.

Even if conventional treatments have reached their limits, patients

suffering from advanced metastatic prostate cancer have
treatment options.

Experience with Immunotherapy has shown that also in advanced

stages of cancer an immune response with complete long-term
remission could be achieved and patients remained cancer free for
decades.

We have found the Issels Treatment System to be a very effective

strategy for Prostate Cancer, as it is a truly integrative
immunotherapeutical approach.
Integrative Immunotherapy is a very comprehensive treatment
strategy for cancer of all types and stages. It is designed to
stimulate the body’s own cancer fighting mechanisms to
recognize and eliminate cancer cells.

The Issels Treatment has become a leader in the field of

Integrative Immunotherapy due to its 50-year track record of
remarkable outcomes with the immunological treatment of
advanced cancers.

It integrates effective state-of-the-art technologies including cancer

vaccines and other research-based therapies. Treatment
protocols are always personalized according to the individual
patient’s needs. The treatment components are non-toxic and
can be combined with conventional therapies if these are
indicated and still possible.

The Issels Treatment focuses with the same importance on both the
prostate cancer and the internal bodily environment, the “soil” on
which the cancer has grown.

The Issels Treatment is a very comprehensive Integrative

Immunotherapy with documented examples of complete long-
term remissions as well as recent cases of advanced cancers
including prostate cancer.
