With the introduction of technology has brought the United States, France, to move with even stop going to regulate the activities of life, a chemo-station receiving chemotherapy, may be a thing of the past. Using a pump, portable computer that meets received in a carrying case, patients had their dose of chemotherapy in a time when there will be more effective and less toxic.
"With the help of a laptop computer, computerized pump to deliver chemotherapy allows patients to participate in normal daily activitiessuch as walking, jogging, yoga, and even sleep, while getting treatment, "says oncologist Keith Block, MD, to adopt this technology in the United States and is a member of the Cam PDQ Cancer National Cancer Institute's Editorial Board." This single pump, a special method of chemotherapy have not only the temporal variation of the drug alone. This revolutionary delivery system has been demonstrated in large randomized trials its potentialImprove survival. "
One patient LisaAnn McConnell, used for transportation to and from Lake Michigan skates special pouch. Little did not know that anyone's belt pocket administration for chemotherapy for cancer.
"It helps to administer higher doses are delivered more frequently, with greater efficacy and reduced toxicity," said Dr. William revolutionary HRUSHESKY chronobiology, clinical investigator at the Dorn VA Medical Center in major South Carolina, one of onlyHandful of locations in the United States, offers chronotherapy. "He is friendly, sweet and at the same time, more aggressive and effective."
"Any drug has an optimal time when less toxic and more effective," says Dr. Block. "For the treatment of cancer depends on several factors including the specific biological determined taking into account the particular drug, are both on the particular type of tumor cells, as normal cells divide, where the patient generally divide the leastthe patient's circadian clock and individual activity cycles of rest, and even the time zone the person resides inside "
"We found that often patients receiving chemotherapy, which can reduce what would have been recurring side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fatigue," said Block, co-founder and Medical Scientific Director of the Center for Integrative Cancer Care Block and Director of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Illinois College ofMedicine in Chicago. This is important because it can cause the weakening caused by chemotherapy patients to reduce or even treatment, otherwise they will help win their battle against cancer to stop them. "In fact, current research shows that early at 1 / 3 of patients with chemotherapy to destroy the side effects cons.
According to Dr. Block: "Even after the previous treatment, patients are not able with our specialized pumps chronomodulated to chemotherapy, it can Re-challenge of the patient, the same drug therapy, and this time, the dissemination of good results. "
McConnell, who was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 46, is the third generation of his family have been diagnosed with this cancer, and so far there were no survivors. "I am pleased to say that my doctors think that my cancer has gone to 100%," said McConnell, now 47
The Block Center for Integrative Cancer Care, based in Evanston,> Illinois, was founded in 1980 by Penny and Keith Block, MD, for the implacable belief that no patient has cancer will never be committed and focused on treating the patient as a whole person, not only in the treatment of diagnosis. The research center based treatment integrates an innovative approach to the best of conventional medical treatments for more scientific basis - the therapeutic nutrition, botanical and phytonutrient supplement prescriptiveexercise and are fed body strategies systematically lied to increase recycling. Lock this "middle way" approach to cancer treatment pioneer and optimal health - Developing a comprehensive plan of treatment that is tailored to the needs of individual patients, a unique combination of clinical procedures and laboratory tests.
The Center Block innovates with the creation and development of Cancer Rehab as an innovative method of treatment, and is currently the only private North AmericaAmbulance chronomodulated chemotherapy. Dr. Block is a member of the National Cancer Institute PDQ Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Editorial Board in Washington, DC, while the Block Center is a center for the full treatment, it is also an official website JPAC through the National Cancer Institute, and is in clinical cancer research with the University of Illinois and other universities in the United States and Israel(http://www.blockmd.com)
