Dendritic Cell Immunotherapy

Dendritic cells are a part of the immune system that have a great capacity to capture and process antigens, which can help identify cells that should be the target of immune defenses.

They are very effective as messengers, as their function is to raise the alarm of the presence of a foreign or mutated cell (such as cancer) and then activate the immune system to kill it.  When cancer is actively growing, it means that this function in the immune system has failed. 

Dendritic Cell Immunotherapy treatment helps the dendritic cells to mature in the laboratory so that the immune system functions properly again and can resume fighting the cancer naturally.  This treatment uses your own blood and white blood cells that are sent to a lab where they are grown in a special environment. The dendritic cells reach maturity after 8 days and are rigorously tested before they are administered to you.

This treatment has demonstrated positive effects in the treatment of cancer to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis. It can also improve the immune response.

Myeloid precursors, which give rise to dendritic cells and subpopulations of tissue macrophages, are distributed in all body tissues and have a capacity to repopulate and renew various subpopulations.

Ongoing research may uncover additional uses for Dendritic Cell Therapy:

  • Promising research has been made in the treatment of autoimmune disease such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn’s disease and Psoriasis.

  • They can cause direct destruction of viruses.

 Dendritic Cell therapy is just one of many immunotherapy treatments offered at Sanoviv in our Cancer Treatment Program.
