Scandinavian ChemoTech’s IQwave™ used as first-line treatment with great clinical outcome in Ukraine
The oncology Ulis Hospital in Ukraine has reported great success where locally advanced squamous cell skin cancer has been treated with IQwave and Tumour Specific Electroporation™ (TSE), with a 90% remission with the expectation of full recovery
As a result of the ongoing war in Ukraine, the patient was not able to get diagnosed and treated before the tumour grew to such a size that radiation therapy was deemed little chance of regression. Due to the placement and size of the tumour, surgery would have created major damage and the need for following plastic surgery and skin transplant would be inevitable. The patient declined surgery and TSE therapy was chosen to be a suitable option.
Not only has the TSE treatment given a 90% remission so far, but the team at Ulis also found biomarkers that prove that TSE generates a great Immunological response. A drastic increase in both CD45 and CD8, which are T-cell lipocytes, was observed through laboratory tests after the treatment and indicates that the immune system attacks the tumour.
”As a scientist, and at the same time as a practical oncologist with more than 25 years of experience, I am very pleased with the fact that such a treatment method as the TSE therapy has become available in the practice of Ukrainian doctors. We are very motivated to continue to use TSE to treat cancer patients but we see also great potential for more clinical research to use TSE as an immune therapy or to improve the efficacy of different immunotherapy molecules.” – says Konstantin Kovalev, Candidate of Medical Sciences, Founder and director of the charity World Against Cancer Foundation
“After more than 4 years of frequent use of TSE around the world, and being a scientist, it’s great news for us to finally get a complete documented case that clearly indicates the biomarkers that generate the incredible quick responses and healing off the tissue that we have seen in the past.” - says Dr Suhail, Medical adviser at Scandinavian ChemoTech
