Cutting-Edge Therapies Available in Our Hospital Network

Many of our treatments are not fully available in other developed countries, offering China a unique leading advantage. We work with hospitals that provide a systematic combination of the following treatments to combat cancer: Immunotherapy (CIK or DC-CIK biotherapy) Gene Therapy (Gendicine) Anti-Angiogenesis Drug (Endostar) Cryoablation Minimal Invasive Surgery Gentle Chemotherapy HIFU Non-Invasive Surgery TACE (Transcatheter Arterial ChemoEmbolization) Cancer Stem Cell Targeted Treatment Gamma Knife Traditional Chinese medicine (herb) Cancer is painful but the treatments shouldnt be. For advanced-stage cancer patients, the cutting-edge therapies available in China offer a better hope for a prolonged life. The benefits of our method include a higher rate of cancer survivorship, a lower percentage of cancer recurrence and metastasis, minimal pain, minimal side effects, and a higher quality of life.

Immunotherapy (CIK or CIK-DC Biotherapy) Immunotherapy treatment functions to stimulate and restore the body's natural immune (defense) system to fight infection and disease, protecting the body from some of the side effects of treatment. CIK (cytokine-induced killer) is the best adoptive immunotherapy in medical practice. CIK cells can recognize and attack cancerous cells, proliferative or non-proliferative. CIK-DC consists of CIK cells and DC cells (Dendritic cells). Dendritic cells are the most powerful antigen-presenting cells. They help CIK cells to recognize the antigens on cancer cells. CIK-DC can selectively destroy tumor cells with higher targeting rates. The treatment has little to no side effects. Now, CIK or CIK-DC has been applied to treat leukemia, kidney cancer, malignant lymphoma, liver cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, lung cancer and other malignant tumors, and has yielded significant effects........[Learn More ]

Gene Therapy (Gendicine Drug) Gendicine is a milestone in medical history. Licensed by SFDA (State Food and Drug Administration) in 2004, Gendicine is the first gene therapy drug in the world and is only available in China. Many types of cancers are supposed to be related to gene defects. Gene therapy is the process of replacing defective or cancerous genes (also called oncogenes) with normal genes so as to prevent tumor growth and the spread of cancer. Gendicine is a recombinant adenovirus containing the tumor suppressor gene p53, which is supposed to be able to suppress various tumors. Gendincine can be injected directly into a tumor by local treatment, or more often through the vein for systemic treatment. Gendicine can also be used by hepatic artery infusion, intraperitoneal injection, bronchoalveolar lavage, or intravesical instillation. Clinical research on Gendicine suggests it is very safe, and no severe adverse effects were observed........[Learn More ]

Antiangiogenesis Agents (Endostar Drug)

Antiangiogenesis Agents work by inhibiting angiogenesis: the proliferous formation of new blood vessels in and around the tumoral tissue. Combined with mild chemotherapy, it not only produces tumor shrinking but also

overcomes prior chemotherapy resistance in many types of advanced cancer patients. Endostar (recombinant human endostatin) is the most potent antiangiogenesis agent known today, due to its effective interaction with a wide range of angiogenesis promoters. Endostar is now widely used in lung, breast, pancreas and colorectal cancers. Endostar can be injected directly into the tumor as local treatment, or more often through the vein for systemic treatment to prevent recurrence and metastasis. Endostar can also be applied by hepatic artery infusion, intraperitoneal injection, bronchoalveolar lavage, or intravesical instillation........[Learn More ]

Cryoablation Cryoablation, also called cryosurgery or tumor targeted cryoablation therapy, is a minimally invasive technique to ablate tumor masses rapidly with freezing-thawing cycles. Cryoablation unit was approved as prostate cancer treatment by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1999. Clinical applications in China show that cryoablation can be used to eliminate tumor masses widely in lung, liver, breast, kidney, prostate gland, skin and soft tissue. With over nine years of clinical trials, following 30,000 cancer patients, cryoablation is a safe and effective local treatment with little pain and side effects........[Learn More ]

HIFU Non-Invasive Surgury (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) HIFU treatment involves using a machine that emits high frequency sound waves. The beams are focused towards a specific part of the cancer to kill some of the cancerous cells. Because this treatment uses sound waves, it does not have nearly as many side effects as traditional cancer treatment methods. HIFU is most effective when used to target a single tumor mass (large or small), and it is not as effective for widespread tumors........[Learn More ]

TACE(Transcatheter Arterial Chemo Embolization) Transcatheter Arterial ChemoEmbolization has been used extensively in the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma to kill the tumor and slow tumor growth. The process involves starving the tumor of blood flow while using gentle, targeted chemotherapy on the cancerous growth........[Learn More ]

Cancer Stem Cell Targeting Cancer stem cells have been isolated in various solid tumors including breast, pancreas, ovary, colon and rectum cancers. In China, research into the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway (a recently discovered mechanism by which cancerous stem cells transmit signals) shows rewarding promises in the ability to overcome resistance to chemotherapy. By targeting cancer stem cells in breast, pancreas and colorectum cancer with novel agents identified by researchers and physicians in China, positive results are seen in controlling cancer progression and extending survival time........[Learn More ]

Gamma Knife Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a precise and powerful treatment for brain disorders. It is noninvasive, effective, and safe. This makes it the optimal choice for treating a wide variety of conditions including benign or malignant brain tumors, blood vessel malformations, trigeminal neuralgia (also called tic douloureux), and tremors. Gamma Knife is a method of radiosurgery that delivers extremely focused beams of cobalt radiation to precise targets in the brain, as many as 201 individual beams. Individually, the beams are too weak to damage healthy tissue. Together, they converge to deliver powerful treatment to a single point. Pre-treatment preparation and the actual radiosurgery are performed in one day. Most patients can return to their normal routines in a day or so. In addition, radiosurgery is less expensive than conventional neurosurgery. It

eliminates the need for lengthy hospitalizations, medications, and rehabilitation........[Learn More ]

Traditional Chinese Medicine The concepts of holism and syndrome differentiation are the two basic characteristics of TCM in understanding human physiology and pathology as well as diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. Concept of holism: The concept of holism means that the human body is an organic whole and that human beings are interrelated with nature. 1) TCM believes that the human body is composed of various tissues and organs, including the viscera, the meridians, the five sensory organs, the nine orifices, the four limbs, and all the skeletal parts. These different tissues and organs are united into an organic whole because they are closely related to each other in structure, physiology, and pathology. 2) Human beings live in nature and nature provides them with various necessities, such as sunlight, air and water. On the other hand, various changes taking place in nature may directly or indirectly affect the human body and bring on corresponding physiological or pathological responses.......[Learn More ]
