A Brief Summary About Denvax

About Denvax Patient Information
  • Denvax is autologous cell treatment in cancer. Here patient’s cells (taken from 20 ml peripheral blood) are cultured and transformed into dendritic cells (cancer‐fighting cells). The cells are cultured by ex vivo technology in 8 days and re‐infused into the same patient. The treatment is part of customized targeted therapies. Book an appointment at any of the Denvax clinics to know more about immunotherapy vs chemotherapy, how to increase dendritic cells, dendritic cells function, etc.
  • The dendritic cells once inside the body generate robust immunology to fight cancer. Denvax is intended to use as adjuvant therapy, and in no way is a substitute to conventional treatment including chermotherapy treatment or radiation therapy for cancer. Denvax can be given under the supervision of your doctor, who can monitor the treatment outcome. Check out our blog section to discover more about dendritic cells function in immune system.
