Required Steps for TVAX Immmunotherapy
Step 1
Perform surgery to obtain patient's cancer.
Step 2
Manufacture
personalized cancer cell vaccine in the TVAX laboratory. Combine inactivated cancer
cells with GM-CSF, a powerful immune stimulant.
Step 3
Perform multiple vaccinations with the personalized cancer cell/GM-CSF vaccine to produce "killer" T cell precursors.
Step 4
Collect "killer" T cell precursors from the vaccinated patient's blood.
Step 5
Manufacture "killer" T cells in TVAX laboratory.
Step 6
Transfuse "killer" T cells into patient’s bloodstream.
Step 7
Inject interleukin-2 into patient's bloodstream.
