She used low-dose chemotherapy once the right chemo was identified for her tumor signature, allowing for a lower chemo concentration since the chemo will target the tumors more effectively. Low dose chemotherapy AKA metronomic chemotherapy reduces side effects significantly, which often is the biggest challenge for standard of care patients. This is the second piece of Julies care. Tomorrow the third piece will be dicussed.

Julie's story is an ideal example of the many pieces of cancer care. All of these pieces together helped Julie but it's hard to know if she needed them all or maybe a combination of a few.
One of those pieces was low dose chemo using Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC), utilizing CellSearch to guide treatment. This method captures cancer cells that have shed into mainly the bloodstream, saliva and urine. One of the benefits is that it is a non invasive way to collect the cancer cell. This is then used to identify precise targets for your unique cancer signature.
This is very important because no one cancer is alike. CellSearch is one company of many that uses this CTC method. Again, we do not endorse but rather provide facts of what each patient used to beat the odds.
Tomorrow we will explain the benefits of the second piece that Julie used, which was low dose chemotherapy with CTC guidance.

This video shows how this type of testing is being recognized as a valid way to identify precise targets for individual tumors. No one cancer is alike and is as unique as a fingerprint.
Even though this test was not well recognized and accepted, Dr. Robert Nagourney has used this technique for many years, thus has a lot of experience in this methodology.

Shapiro) was introduced, which was about Dr. Elizabeth Panke, a medical doctor and scientist who reversed her terminal cancer using an alternative method called chemo-assay or functional profiling in which exposes the patients LIVING cancer cells to different drugs to find the right match.
This approach can be used in all cancers not just ovarian or uterine cancers. The video is an explanation of chemo-assaying, but can be used in all cancers. Also, Cancer Intelligence does not endorse any one method or practitioner and only provides information. It is up to the patient to make the decision. We do feel that Robert Nagourney, discussed in the chapter, is the most skilled in chemo-assaying but there are others that use this method.
