TVAX Biomedical is committed to creating an effective alternative cancer treatment.

The Promise of Immunotherapy

The immune system selectively and permanently eliminates foreign pathogens such as viruses without causing any permanent harm to the body. Our body's immune system evolved to eliminate microbial threats invading from the environment, but does not recognize cancerous threats that arise from within our body. The challenge for scientists working in the field of immunology is to train the body's immune system to eliminate both the external and internal threats - and to turn that ability into a safe cancer treatment.

Why is TVAX different?

TVAX uses vaccination to induce the immune system to recognize the existence of the growing cancer and then adds a second medical strategy designed to convert that heightened recognition into a therapeutic effect that prolongs survival. Each TVAX treatment is personalized and targets cancer cells with "Killer T cells". The healthy cells are unharmed. This approach avoids the side effects that can be experienced with chemotherapy and radiation.
