See If You are Eligible for Our Treatment
While Immunocine specializes in an innovative immunotherapy treatment that has shown positive outcomes for many patients, individual results may vary based on each unique medical situation. A thorough medical evaluation will determine if our treatment protocol may be appropriate for your specific case.
Eligibility
Eligibility is determined through a careful clinical evaluation.
Solid Tumors
While we are constantly expanding our capabilities, right now we only treat patients with solid tumors that can be biopsied. Blood malignancies, such as Leukemia, cannot be treated at this time.
Functioning Immune System
For any immunotherapy to be successful, a patient needs a stable, functioning immune system. Patients with immune deficiencies and other conditions may not qualify for treatment until normal activity is restored.
Ability to Travel
Some medical conditions and other factors may prevent patients from traveling and our treatment is only administered at our facilities in Mexico. If you are unable to travel, you will not be able to receive treatment.
Six-Week Treatment
Our treatment protocol requires three separate treatments, each two weeks apart. Patients can choose to stay in Mexico for the full duration or travel home between appointments and return as needed.
Stable Health
Impending organ failures would be a severe impediment to treatment response, thus proper functioning (e.g. liver, kidneys) is critical.
Non-Infectious Status
Due to safety protocols and equipment limitations, our lab is currently unable to process samples from individuals with active or recent infections of HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Syphilis, Chagas disease, Toxoplasmosis, or active Cytomegalovirus (CMV), or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).
Medical Evaluation
Prior to qualifying for our treatment, every patient must complete a complimentary medical evaluation.
Preliminary Medical Evaluation
To begin the Medical Evaluation process, you will complete our secure online Medical Questionnaire. Following completion, you will receive access to a secure, encrypted folder system compliant with international medical privacy standards to safely upload your medical records. Patients can also have their medical records faxed.
Once all records have been received, we will start the Preliminary Medical Evaluation to ensure there are no immediate concerns with providing treatment. Our goal is to complete this process in as little as three days and provide the patient with the evaluation results.
Final Medical Evaluation
Once the patient has passed the Preliminary Medical Evaluation, their records are reviewed by the larger Medical Team, which includes our Oncologist, Radiologist, and Hematologist. During the Final Medical Evaluation, our team will do a deeper review of your records and begin developing the treatment strategy.
This process takes roughly seven days. If approved for treatment, one of our Patient Coordinators will call to share the good news. If treatment is declined, a member of our Medical Team will reach out to explain the rationale for the decision and any recommendations they have for future treatment options outside of Immunocine.
Documents Required
Medical Records
- Personal medical chart that includes all reports, evaluations, and summaries for the past three to six months.
- All relevant records pertaining to your cancer diagnosis if not included in your personal medical chart.
- Medical imaging reports such as X-Rays, CT Scans, PET Scans, and MRI's.
Recent Blood Panel
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
- Complete blood count with differential
- Prothrombin Time (PT) and Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT)
- Rheumatoid Factor (RF)
- If approved, we require a current screening of HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Syphilis, Chagas disease, Toxoplasmosis, or active Cytomegalovirus (CMV), or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).
Are you currently receiving cancer treatment?
Most Immunotherapies are complimentary to our treatment and will not prevent you from qualifying.
However, if you are currently receiving Chemotherapy or Radiation, you will need to wait 30 days after completing those treatments before starting our treatment.
In the mean time, you can still proceed with the Medical Evaluation to see if you would be a candidate once those treatments are complete.
