I am a 50-year-old woman with stage III pancreatic cancer, unresectable due to vessel involvement. Had 5 weeks of tomotherapy radiation at CTCA in Philadelphia which shrunk tumor somewhat, and took CA19-9 and CA125 tumor markers into normal ranges. I am currently undergoing local and whole body hyperthermia and immunotherapy treatments in Austria, and will probably undergo ultrapheresis treatments by Dr. M.R. Lentz in Germany soon. Both of these therapies seem most promising.
Dr. Lentz "washes" the blood of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors so that the immune system recognizes the cancer as a "foreign body" that must be attacked and eliminated. The process works with various cancers, can be repeated indefinitely, and makes a lot of sense. It is, however, very expensive. But we're talking about survival here, right? Consider fundraising parties.
Check out www.euro-med.us/cancer-treatment/lentz-therapy.cfm for a description of the therapy. This website was put out by a cancer center in Arizona that sounds like it does the Lentz therapy. But this is not the case. Still, it is a good, basic description of the treatment.
Hyperthermia information is abundant on the web. I don't think the U.S. has approval (thank you, FDA) for equipment that can locally heat deep tissue to temperatures that can kill cancer cells. That is why I am in Europe, which is by the way, a great place to be for many reasons. I am in Vienna, Austria. They have the right idea about a lot of things over here. Good luck and good health to all!!!
