Post Cancer Treatments

Cancer is a disease characterized by the abnormal and uncontrollable growth of cells in the body. In a normal and healthy human being, cells grow, divide, and die in an order. But in cancer patients, the cells grow abnormally, forming a mass of tissue called a tumor or spreading to the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.

Cancer can be of various types depending on the source of the origin. Leukemia begins in the bone marrow and impacts the blood as well as the tissues responsible for blood formation. Lymphoma affects the lymphatic system which is a part of the immune system and is characterized by abnormal production of lymphocytes or white blood cells in lymph nodes. The particular protocol of cancer treatment is dependent upon the specific type and stage of the cancer.

In most cases, patients experience long-term effects which include physical and emotional challenges. Stem cell treatment, to a great extent, helps them overcome the difficulties of surviving cancer by helping the body restore and rejuvenate itself. Scheduling a free consultation with our stem cell specialist is the first step towards your cancer recovery journey. 

After being diagnosed with cancer, the patient undergoes treatment which may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, surgery, or a combination of two or more of these treatment options.  The journey of cancer treatment is emotionally overwhelming and the individual goes through phases of pain, frustration, depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and fear. Also, the stages of treatment or medical procedures can be physically demanding. The potential side effects or symptoms during and post-cancer treatment include –

• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Hair loss
• Changes in body weight
• Depression
• Stress and anxiety
• Infertility
• Hearing loss
• Dental issues
• Heart and lung problems
• Memory issues
• Intestinal disorders
• Increased chances of stroke
• Hormonal imbalances

However, it is important to note that not everyone goes through the same kind of symptoms. Some might have mild side effects, while some may have prolonged late effects.

This section discusses the importance of stem cells in cancer recovery support and management of cancer treatment side effects. Stem cells play a vital role in producing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, each essential for sustaining life. Adequate levels of these blood cells are necessary for their respective functions. Red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to all cells in the body, while white blood cells contribute to combating infections triggered by bacteria, viruses, and fungi. White blood cells encompass various types, each specializing in different immune responses.

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells capable of multiplying and transforming into specialized cells within the body. Newborns typically possess abundant stem cells in their blood. Following birth, the stem cells from the umbilical cord (Wharton’s Jelly) can be collected and preserved for future utilization in stem cell treatment.

Stem cell therapies typically don’t directly target cancer. Instead, they serve to replenish the body’s capacity for generating new blood cells, particularly after undergoing intensive chemotherapy and potentially other treatments like radiation therapy which are used to eliminate cancer cells.

Stem cell therapies help patients recover faster and lead to new ways to fight post-cancer stress and anxiety. The human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCT-MSCs) are capable of producing all types of blood cells and immune cells. Hence, they are utilized for the curative treatment of blood-related cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.

Stem cell administration aids in the restoration of blood-forming cells in patients whose cells have been damaged by the strong chemotherapy doses, and radiation therapy. Researchers believe that stem cells have shown great potential to enhance cancer treatment through cell regeneration following heavy-dose chemotherapies.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) influence the restoration and growth of fresh cells that inhibit cancer. Using MSCs of the human umbilical cord tissues has the following noteworthy benefits –

• Due to the high migratory capacity of MSCs, they reach the targeted areas or damaged cells faster and then differentiate into mature cells and produce paracrine factors essential for tissue regeneration, remodeling, and repair.
• MSCs are the stem cells with the best inflammatory and immunomodulating properties and hence, capable of stimulating tissue regeneration.
• These stem cells are fresh cells collected from the umbilical cord following healthy birth, these are immune-system privileged and there is no chance of cell rejection.

The process of stem cell administration for post-cancer treatment varies depending on the patient’s condition, age, and other considerations. At Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute, initially, the patients undergo a thorough evaluation to assess the overall health disease, severity of cancer, and the potential risks associated with the treatment.

Stem cell administration is done through intravenous infusions and the number of doses or injections is determined by the doctors based on the patient’s health condition and treatment protocol.

Cancer patients receiving stem cell therapies can expect significant improvements in their quality of life after the first month of the treatment. The noticeable effects of stem cell treatment are –

• Improvement in the overall health condition
• Improvement in the appetite
• Reduction in body weakness
• Increased or enhanced capacity to work
• Grow interest in engaging in self-care
• Enhancement in emotional status
• Increase in memory
• Better cognitive abilities

After 2-3 months, the next effects of stem cell therapy for cancer recovery include –

• Better immunological profile
• Better quality of life
• Reduced inflammatory marker levels
• Better hemopoiesis (production of blood cells and platelets in the bone marrow)

Stem cell therapy after cancer treatment aids in the formation of new cells and replenishes the damaged cells, preventing relapses and the occurrence of new diseases. At Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute, we promise to provide personalized care for cancer survivors individually and help them recover from post-cancer trauma, both physically and psychologically. The patients who received treatment at our institute have reported improved quality of life, reduced weakness, and better fitness. We help them get back to their normal life after going through periods of struggle, pain, depression, and tough stages of cancer therapies like chemos, radiation therapy, and others.

• Type of cancer
• Treatment protocol
• Number of stem cell doses
• Patient’s age
• Patient’s height and weight
• Past medical records
• Any other pre-existing health conditions
