Intratumoral Immunotherapy.
The injection of immunotherapy directly into a cancer
“My goal is to use the most advanced therapies, innovating ways to treat cancer in a more effective, less invasive manner. We all need to look beyond traditional approaches into uncharted territories,” says Dr. Jason R. Williams of the Williams Cancer Institute. “We are closer than ever to finding a cure for cancer, and while there is further to go before this deadly disease is fully eradicated, with this book we bring about the beginning of the end. The immunotherapy revolution has begun.”
If you are reading about intratumoral immunotherapy on our websites, it’s probably because you or someone you love has cancer. You are hoping to learn about the exciting breakthroughs in immunotherapy treatment.
To be diagnosed with cancer can be devastating, not only because of the nature of the disease itself, but also because conventional treatments can be excruciating, debilitating, and may not even work. Through surgery, toxic chemotherapy, and radiation, the aggressive efforts to eliminate any traces of cancer have often left patients with bodies as ravaged by the treatment as the disease itself.
The good news is that recent scientific advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer have led to amazing discoveries in our understanding of how to treat it and, in many cases, eliminate any trace of cancer cells from the patient’s body.
One of the most advanced treatments used at the Williams Cancer Institute is Intratumoral Immunotherapy. Its revolutionary approach considers the tumor as the remedy.
In simple words, intra-tumoral immunotherapy means injecting sophisticated anti-cancer immuno-antibodies (the subject of Nobel Prize in Medicine for 2018), into tumor deposits that have just been ablated by freezing (image-guided cryoablation) or heating.
Injecting these antibodies directly into tumors (local treatment), rather than intravenously (systemic treatment), as they are conventionally given, have dramatically increased the response rate and reduced the adverse side effects, as well as requiring much smaller quantities of these expensive cancer medications.
This revolutionary therapy opens the doors to the successful treatment of a far broader spectrum of cancer patients than are currently benefited by the new immunotherapies. We now have the cure for cancer within our sights. Immunotherapy is rapidly reaching the mainstream as a viable cancer treatment.
Dr. Jason Williams’ approach combines interventional radiology expertise with a high level of knowledge about the science of immunology, cancer, and cancer immunotherapy.
If you are looking for the most advanced and efficient form of cancer treatment, look no further. Intratumoral Immunotherapy is your answer.
