​
The benefits of immunotherapy have been extensively researched in the past few years as a completely viable and safe alternative to conventional cancer treatment methods.
​
Peptide Therapy allows specific T-cells to activate their ability to recognise and attack tumour cells. Their main job is to help your immune system to identify receptors in cancer cells, also called tumour antigens.
​
The purpose of Peptide Therapy is to bolster your natural defences against cancer cells.
Why Choose Peptide Therapy ?
In cancer immunotherapy, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs, also known as T cells) play a leading role in attacking cancer cells. The markers recognised by CTLs to distinguish between cancer cells and normal cells are called tumour-associated antigens.
​
Cancer Peptide Therapy using tumour-associated antigen-derived peptides will allow T-lymphocytes to recognize and attack cancer cells. Peptide Therapy has been well-researched and has received a lot of positive feedback over the years.
​
As cancer care becomes more and more integrative and less focused on harmful conventional cancer treatments like high-dose chemotherapy and radiation, immune-activating alternatives have taken much of the spotlight away. And there is no surprise as to why.
​
They are safer because they avoid and preserve healthy cells instead of destroying them.
