Management of Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma with GcMAF Forte and Thymus Peptides: A Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
In the recent years immunotherapy has gained important role in cancer management. Immunostimulating effects of thymus-derived peptides on carcinogenesis have been actively studied in both animals and humans. Gc protein derived macrophage-activating factor (GcMAF) was found to have potent effect on macrophage phagocytic activity. Immunostimulating effects of GcMAF and peptides of thymus can be effectively combined together and with other treatment modalities of cancer. The current case report demonstrates outcomes of combination of GcMAF Forte and HT Thymus (peptides of thymus) in the management of metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. This case study suggests that individually prescribed immunotherapy can be a promising alternative in management of advance forms of cancer, especially when options of treatment are limited.
