Dendritic Cells: Advanced Cancer Treatment
Dendritic Cell Therapy with Dr. Edgar Payan
If you or a loved one is dealing with advanced cancer and have not found success with traditional treatments, it’s time to explore new and promising options. At CMN Hospital, Dr. Edgar Payan offers personalized cancer treatment protocols, including innovative therapies like dendritic cell therapy. These advanced protocols are specifically designed to treat stage 3 breast cancer, metastatic stage 4 breast cancer, and advanced prostate cancer.
The Importance of a Comprehensive Cancer Treatment Plan
Cancer treatment is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It requires a combination of approaches designed to target cancer cells, boost the immune system, and improve the patient’s overall strength. One critical factor that must be prioritized when developing a cancer treatment plan is the immune system. A strong immune system is essential for fighting illness and infection, and it plays a significant role in the body’s ability to fight cancer. Dendritic cells (DCs) are part of the body’s immune response, and they work to recognize and eliminate abnormal cancer cells.
Dendritic cell therapy is a leading-edge treatment that empowers the immune system to fight cancer while supporting overall health. This innovative therapy uses the patient’s own immune cells to specifically target and destroy cancer cells. It’s an excellent option for patients who are looking for advanced treatments that complement traditional methods.
How Dendritic Cell Therapy Works to Fight Cancer
Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized immune cells that play a crucial role in the adaptive immune response. They act as messengers, identifying harmful cells like cancer and signaling the body’s immune system to attack. By activating T-cells, dendritic cells help create a powerful anti-tumor response, making them an important component of advanced cancer therapies.
At CMN Hospital, our team employs cutting-edge techniques to harness the power of dendritic cells. Our personalized approach to cancer treatment includes advanced therapies like dendritic cell vaccines, which have shown promising results in improving immune response and fighting cancer. Recent studies, such as those from institutions like the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, highlight the effectiveness of dendritic cell therapy in patients with advanced-stage cancers, such as multiple myeloma and breast cancer.
This therapy is not used in isolation but is integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique needs. By combining dendritic cell therapy with other evidence-based cancer treatments, we offer a more complete and personalized approach to care.
At CMN Hospital, under the expert care of Dr. Edgar Payan, patients receive integrative cancer treatment that incorporates the latest advancements in immunotherapy. Dendritic cell therapy offers hope for patients who are facing advanced stages of cancer and are seeking new, scientifically backed treatment options.

Hyperthermia
If you want to speak with Dr. Payan at CMN Hospital please contact us.
Hyperthermia is, by definition, the condition of having a body temperature greatly above normal; it is not to be confused with hypothermia, known as having a body temperature below normal. The average body temperature for human beings is 98.6°F or 37°C. Body temperature is crucial in maintaining health because many of the vital life functions carried out within your body are “possible only between certain narrowly defined limits of temperature. Cold inhibits and excessive heat suspends them. Body heat is energy. It is employed not just in resisting cold, but also in accelerating cellular activities.”[1] Science classes in school often taught us that bad things happen when our homeostasis, including internal body temperature, is disrupted. However, this is not always true.
Can positive things happen to our body when heat and high temperatures are purposefully utilized in strategic ways? Yes.
Treating Cancer with Hyperthermia
Hyperthermia, or an elevated temperature, is used to treat cancer by damaging or destroying tumors using heat. Specifically, “during a hyperthermia treatment, the cancerous tumor is heated to a temperature between 40 and 45°C (104 -113° F) for a certain period of time. Since cancer cells can’t tolerate high temperatures as well as healthy cells, parts of the cancer cells can become damaged by the heat.”[2]
Hyperthermia is most frequently, and most reliably, performed through two methods:
Local Hyperthermia
Regional Hyperthermia
Both local and regional hyperthermia treatments are effective and beneficial to fighting cancer, as they each utilize high temperatures to “damage and kill cancer cells, usually with minimal injury to normal tissues. By killing cancer cells and damaging proteins and structures within cells, hyperthermia may shrink tumors.”[3]
It is important to note that “numerous clinical trials have studied hyperthermia in combination with radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy. These studies have focused on the treatment of many types of cancer, including sarcoma, melanoma, and cancers of the head and neck, brain, lung, esophagus, breast, bladder, rectum, liver, appendix, cervix, and peritoneal lining (mesothelioma). Many of these studies, but not all, have shown a significant reduction in tumor size when hyperthermia is combined with other treatments.”
Local Hyperthermia
Local hyperthermia treatment occurs when “very high temperatures are used to kill the cancer cells and destroy nearby blood vessels. In effect, this cooks the area that is exposed to the heat. And, as with cooking, the higher the temperature and duration of exposure, the greater the effect seen within tissues.”[4] During local hyperthermia treatments,“different types of energy may be used to apply heat, including microwave, radio-frequency, and ultrasound,” so the treatment is adjustable to your specific medical condition, with regard to your doctors’ discretion, as well as the location of the tumor.
For example, local hyperthermia may be applied externally, primarily to tumors that “are in or just below the skin. External applicators are positioned around or near the appropriate region, and energy is focused on the tumor to raise its temperature.”
Local hyperthermia can also be used to treat tumors within or near body cavities, as well as those that are deep within the body.
Regional Hyperthermia
Regional hyperthermia differs from local hyperthermia in that heat is applied to large areas of tissue, such as a limb, organ, or other body cavity or surface.
One “approach to regional hyperthermia is deep tissuehyperthermia. This treatment uses devices that are placed on the surface of the organ or body cavity and produce high energy waves directed at a certain area. These devices give off radiofrequency or microwave energy to heat the area being treated.”
Another way in which regional hyperthermia treatment is utilized is through “external applicators, [which] are positioned around the body cavity or organ to be treated, and microwave or radiofrequency energy is focused on the area to raise its temperature.”
Hyperthermia and You
Hyperthermia is an advanced treatment that requires the utmost attention to detail because the body is extremely sensitive to fluctuations in internal temperature, which can alter the homeostatic normality within the body. Hyperthermia treatment is also implemented in a range of techniques locally and regionally, thus making the treatment flexible to your specific medical circumstance as part of your overall treatment plan.
