Peptide therapy is a type of treatment that uses peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, to treat various diseases including cancer. Peptides are small proteins that can penetrate cells easily and trigger biological processes that help fight cancer in several ways:
- Peptides can stimulate the immune system to attack cancer cells more efficiently
- Certain peptides have anti-angiogenic effects, meaning they can prevent new blood vessels from forming to feed the tumor
- Some peptides directly induce programmed cell death (apoptosis) in cancer cells
How Peptide Therapy Works For Cancer
Peptide therapy utilizes customized peptide compounds that are designed to:
- Boost the immune system - Peptides like Thymosin alpha-1 and Polyclonal T Cell Peptides increase the production of immune cells and stimulate the activity of various immune cells like T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells to seek and destroy cancer cells more aggressively
- Inhibit angiogenesis - Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is released by cancer tumors to stimulate new blood vessel formation to supply nutrients to the growing cancer. Peptides like PNC-27 and Angioinhibitory Peptide directly inhibit VEGF activity and angiogenesis
- Induce apoptosis - Certain peptides directly trigger programmed cell death in cancerous cells. These include small pro-apoptotic peptides and p53 peptides
Peptide Therapy Protocol
Peptide therapy for cancer typically involves:
- Patient assessment - Comprehensive testing to identify cancer type, genetic markers, tumor antigens, etc. that will determine the customized peptide compound
- Peptide design - Peptides optimized for the individual based on assessment results
- Administration - Injections (subcutaneous/intramuscular) done either at home or in-clinic
- Monitoring - Regular testing and cancer marker monitoring to assess therapeutic response
The duration, frequency and peptide combinations used can vary depending on the patient's response. Cycles usually range from
3-9 months.
Some Benefits of Peptide Therapy for Cancer
- Non-toxic natural compounds that do not damage healthy cells
- Enhances effects of chemotherapy/radiation
- Improves quality of life - more energy, strength and easier pain management
- Peptides have antimicrobial properties and can prevent infections
- Overall tumor stabilization and regression observed in research
Early clinical
trials show positive effects of anti-cancer peptides in successfully:
- Halting tumor growth
*Cutting off blood supply to tumors
- Boosting chemotherapy efficiency
- Preventing relapses
- Extending survival time
However, the therapy is still investigational and outcomes can vary depending on the type & stage of cancer, treatment combinations and patient characteristics.
