Lung Cancer Treatment in Mexico

Patients are monitored daily during treatment. Side effects are tracked, documented, and addressed in real time; sometimes with medication adjustments, sometimes with supportive therapy, occasionally by pausing a treatment. The treating physician reviews the patient's status every day the patient is on-site.

Usually yes, but it depends on the specific medication and how it interacts with our protocol. Bring a complete medication list to the consultation. We coordinate with your home physician where possible.

Sometimes. Blood work, imaging, and response markers are checked during your stay, and the protocol is adjusted if the data suggests it should be. Any meaningful change is reviewed with you before it's implemented.

After we receive your medical records, imaging, and pathology, your case is reviewed by the medical board. They draft a proposed protocol, which therapies, in what sequence, over how many days. You then have a consultation with the treating physician to review it, ask questions, and adjust before anything begins.

Yes, we offer CAR-T therapy in addition to our broader autologous immunotherapy program. Both are built on the same core principle; collecting the patient's own immune cells, engineering or activating them to better recognize cancer, and reinfusing them to do the work. The specifics of which approach fits your case, and how it's delivered, are reviewed during the medical consultation.

IV vitamin C, ozone therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, peptide therapy, IV nutrition, metabolic support, lymphatic therapy, and others, selected based on the patient's case, not applied as a fixed menu. These are supportive, not curative; they're used to help the body tolerate and respond to the core treatment.

Radiation is not delivered on-site. When radiation is part of the recommended plan, we coordinate with established radiation oncology centers and incorporate it into the broader protocol.

We do, when it's the right tool for a given case, and we say so clearly. For some cancers, low-dose or fractionated chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy is more effective than immunotherapy alone. We don't reject chemo as a category; we use it strategically and at the lowest effective dose.

No. We see patients at every stage, newly diagnosed, in active treatment elsewhere, in remission and looking to lower recurrence risk, and patients who have exhausted conventional options. The protocol is adjusted to the situation.

Our immune system is our army, responsible for protecting us from any possible threat, internal or external. Our food supply is full of chemicals more now than ever, to create shelf life and to preserve the quality of the product, and to avoid contamination, yet it is not related to nutrient lifespan. We now know that food can trigger inflammation and alter our digestive processes, potentially leading to severe dysfunction and disease.

Supplements are a main part of a healthy diet regimen. We offer a more specialized line of supplements to our patients designed for them. Our medical team takes into consideration your medical history, lab work, specific medical tests, genetics, physical state, lifestyle, age, gender and type of disease.

Your supplements are reviewed and altered with time as our patients heal and their body finds the balance it needs.

Our nutritional plan is:

• Chemical and preservatives free.
• Organic fruit and vegetables.
• Hormone free meat.
• Personalized supplements.
• Metal and mercury free fish.
• Hypo allergenic.
• Gluten and diary free to promote immune tolerance.
• Alkaline to optimize the internal environment to fight and overcome cancer.

Your personalized nutritional plan is developed, reviewed and redefined by our specialized medical team with our clinical nutritionist, kitchen staff and functional trained chefs.

They take into consideration your unique needs in a stressful situation, nutritional deficiencies, the nutritive food you desperately need, allergies and personal preference of taste and food appearance.

At the immunotherapy Institute, we use a proprietary method called “Enhanced Low Dose Chemotherapy”, this is a metabolic-supported low dose chemotherapy.

“Enhanced Low Dose Chemotherapy” targets a cell and changes its composition.

First, it attacks the cancer cell through its internal environment and then via the external environment by “prepping” the cancer cell so it becomes more vulnerable to treatment.

In more simple words, “Enhanced Low Dose Chemotherapy”  is just a fraction of the normal dose and it only goes after the cancer cells instead of your whole body, which reduces or eliminates the horrible side-effects of conventional chemo.

There are two types, regional and systemic.

Regional refers to the increase of temperature of a single zone or area.

Systemic is whole-body hyperthermia, which refers to the increase in temperature to hyperthermic levels over the entire body.

Hyperthermia is proven to enhance the effect of anti-cancer treatments like immunotherapy and conventional treatments such as chemo or radiation.

Positive trials have established hyperthermia, in combination with anti-cancer drugs, as a breakthrough cancer treatment.

Hyperthermia is generally well tolerated; side effects are typically mild and are reviewed with you before treatment.

Another thing you might wonder is, How long will each session be?

We see great outcomes with 2 to 4 hour-long sessions.

What are the benefits of the hyperthermia we use at our center?

It’s fast acting. You’ll feel results within the first couple of sessions.
You’ll be alert, you won’t have to go through sedation and anesthesia.

You won’t experience any discomfort, which allows for a much larger period, and hence, achieves in a single session, what would take us up to 8 sessions to achieve with other methods.

There are two main types of immunotherapy, chemical, and autologous immunotherapy; we have seen great success with the latter.

In the autologous cellular immunotherapy process, we collect your immune cells and infuse them back into your body after culture.

In the process we activate the anti-tumor response and “train these cells” to effectively target and attack cancer cells.

Autologous Cellular Immunotherapy is made out of specific types of cells mainly Dendritic, NK cells and T lymphocytes.

These cells act against the cancer cells and recharge the immune system.

When they find a tumor cell, the NK and T cells bind themselves to its membrane and inject toxins which kill the cancer cell.

In less than five minutes, the cancer cell dies and the NK and T cells move on to their next target.

Every single case has different specifications, which is why its so important to explore your unique situation.

Because our program employs natural treatments that only enhance the body’s own natural ability to attack cancer, there’s no negative side-effects. Patients who have previously undergone chemotherapy will be administered a chemo-preconditioning program that will decrease the negative side-effects like, such as hair loss, nausea, toxicity, anemia, and others, until the body is in optimal condition for our treatment program.

Every case is different, and no clinic can promise a cure. What we can say is that many of our patients achieve meaningful control of their disease — and some reach remission (no evidence of disease) — while maintaining or improving quality of life. Outcomes depend on cancer type, stage, and individual factors, and are never guaranteed. The best way to understand your specific situation is a case review with our physicians.

Yes, many of our patients are still doing chemotherapy or have had it done in the past. One of the great benefits of our treatments is that it doesn’t affect being in chemo like most other treatments, in fact, many of our most successful cases have already done chemo in the past. Our treatments will precondition the body to eliminate the toxic effects from previous chemotherapy to get the body to its optimal condition for the treatment.

Yes, in fact, over half of cancer patients are stage IV and although each patient’s outcome is different based on their current health situation, medical history, eating habits, and overall lifestyle, our studies have shown that many of our cancer patients have reported benefit from our treatments. It’s very important that patients in stage 4 make timely decisions because time is of the essence for the treatment to take a positive effect.
