Hi Justice, 

I noticed you had a question about Immucura Dentritic Cell Therapy so I just wanted to stop by and share some information that I hope will be useful.

As you are aware, this is a new treatment and as such is not yet available on the NHS, however, there are clinical trials being carried out in some NHS hospitals that are looking into the benefits of adding this treatment to standard therapies, and it will be interesting to see what the trials show in the future.

Until the evidence shows the advantage of the treatment (or otherwise), we are unable to say whether it is worth pursuing this route but we would always advise caution in looking to obtain unproven treatments through a private organisation, particularly overseas companies such as the one you mention as clinics offering non approved treatments for payment in a non-regulated way are likely to be solely driven by monetary return and are not acting in the patient’s best interest. You can find out more in this article: https://www.anticancerfund.org/nl/node/579

We would always recommend you speak to your cancer specialist who may have insight into the treatment with particular reference to your cancer, and any clinical trials in which you could participate. You can view current clinical trials in our clinical trials database just here: https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/find-a-clinical-trial/

Thank you so much Steph. Interestingly enough, I told them that I probably will not take their route due to the cost, and they replied to say they are fund raising and take my case on for free!
