Advanced, Physician-Directed Cancer Treatment

Dr. Edgar Payán leads CMN Hospital’s Advanced Cancer Treatment program, a physician-directed approach focused on supporting the body’s immune response through carefully selected therapies. These treatments are provided within a structured inpatient program and are adjusted based on each patient’s condition and response during care.

Dendritic Cell Therapy

Dendritic cell therapy is sometimes misunderstood as a single “vaccine.” In earlier years, this approach was used in some settings. Over time, it became clear that when patients administered it on their own, it was often done without ongoing physician oversight or the ability to adjust care based on their response. At CMN Hospital, Dr. Edgar Payán provides dendritic cell therapy only within the 28-day inpatient program. This allows the therapy to be coordinated with other treatments, monitored closely, and adjusted as needed under continuous medical supervision. As part of the program, a patient’s own dendritic cells are collected and prepared in a controlled laboratory setting. These cells are then reintroduced with the goal of supporting the immune system’s ability to identify and respond to specific tumor-related markers.

This therapy is not administered on its own. It is provided as one component of a structured treatment plan, where therapies are selected and adjusted daily based on the patient’s condition and response during care.

Autologous Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy

Autologous bone marrow–derived stem cell therapy is used within CMN Hospital’s physician-directed inpatient program. This therapy involves collecting stem cells from the patient’s own bone marrow in a controlled clinical setting. Stem cells are associated with tissue support and immune system regulation. Within the program, they are used as part of a broader treatment plan designed to support the body during care. This therapy is provided in combination with other treatments and is not administered independently. All therapies are selected and adjusted daily based on the patient’s condition and response throughout the program.

Intravenous (IV) Nutrient Therapy

Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy is used within CMN Hospital’s physician-directed inpatient program to deliver vitamins, minerals, and other supportive nutrients directly into the bloodstream under medical supervision. This method allows for controlled administration and absorption and is used as part of the overall program to support the body’s physiological function during treatment. IV therapies are provided in combination with other treatments and are adjusted daily based on the patient’s condition and response throughout their stay. Dr. Payán personally oversees each treatment plan, guiding care based on the patient’s diagnosis, current health status, and response during treatment. Care is delivered within a structured hospital setting, with continuous medical oversight and patient support throughout the process.
