Combination therapy: injections, infusion therapy, and dendritic cell therapy

Basic principle of combination therapy

 

Cancer is a complex process that affects not only individual cells, but the entire immunological and cellular balance. Combination therapies therefore rely on a multi-stage concept that is individually tailored and pursues the following goals:

• Support and stabilization of the immune system

• Improvement of the immune response against altered cells

• Providing support during or after conventional therapies

• Taking into account tumor type, stage, and metastasis

 

Role of dendritic cell therapy

 

Dendritic cell therapy is a personalized immunological procedure. Dendritic cells play a key role in the immune system because they can present antigens and trigger targeted immune responses.

As part of the therapy, dendritic cells are extracted from the patient's blood, processed in the laboratory, and loaded with tumor-associated antigens. After being returned to the body, they are intended to help the immune system better recognize diseased cells.

Dendritic cell therapy often forms the central immunological component within a combination therapy concept.

​

Injections and infusion therapies as accompanying measures

 

Injections and infusion therapies are used in combination therapy to support the organism. Depending on individual needs, they can fulfill the following functions:

• Support of the immune metabolism

• Supply of selected micronutrients

• Stabilization during stressful therapy situations

• Supporting regeneration and resilience

These measures are not a substitute for cancer therapy, but can be used as part of a holistic approach.

 

Individual coordination and scheduling

 

An essential part of combination therapy is the timing of the individual measures. Different mechanisms of action are deliberately separated or combined to ensure good tolerability.

The selection and sequence of injections, infusions, and immunological procedures is always individualized and based on:

• the current course of the disease

• the immune status

• existing prior treatments

• the patient's general resilience

 

The goal of combination therapy
 

• The goal of integrative combination therapies is to

• provide targeted support to the immune system,

• better coordinate immunological processes,

• and provide comprehensive support to patients during their therapy.

The focus is on transparency, individualization, and medical care.

Important note

The procedures mentioned do not constitute a promise of cure and do not replace guideline-based oncological therapy. Whether and in what form combination therapy is appropriate must always be assessed individually and medically.
