Impressive Results in Immunotherapy and Stem Cell Regeneration Technology: 70% Tumor Control Rate in Cancer Cell Treatment
Director Chun-Chung Chen stated that cancer has long been one of the top ten leading causes of death in Taiwan, and cell therapy is a globally emerging treatment method that utilizes immune cells and stem cells to treat diseases such as cancer. China Medical University Hospital tailors the most suitable options based on different cancer types and patient conditions. The use of immune cells to suppress cancer cells, combined with standard treatment, has shown remarkable results with a tumor control rate (DCR) of over 70% in late-stage patients. Stem cell regenerative treatment techniques, including the use of autologous bone marrow stromal stem cell transplantation, have been applied to common conditions like degenerative arthritis and spinal cord injuries, significantly reducing joint pain and gradually restoring function. The goal is to share the latest brain cancer cell treatment technology and experiences with Malaysia.
