IOZK - Immunotherapy

Am IOZK sind wir bestrebt, Ihr Leben als Krebspatient zu verlängern und Ihnen eine schonende Therapie zu bieten.

At the IOZK, we strive to extend your life as a cancer patient and to offer you a therapy without side effects. Unsere Ärzte und Wissenschaftler beschäftigen sich bereits seit 1985 mit der Rolle des Immunsystems und wie die körpereigenen Abwehrkräfte gegen Krebs mobilisiert werden können. Erstmalig in Europa gelang es dem IOZK, die Herstellungserlaubnis für einen Patienten-eigenen Tumorimpfstoff in Kombination mit Viren zu erhalten, gemäß dem Arzneimittelgesetz für neuartige Therapien.

Brain tumour symptoms vary and can sometimes be subtle. If you or a person near you shows two or more of these signs, consult a specialist immediately.

Early recognition is key, as it enables specialists to consider the full range of treatment approaches, including immunotherapy in selected cases.

This month is Brain Cancer Awareness Month.

In this podcast clip, Stefaan Van Gool discusses how brain cancers have the highest mean years of life lost across all tumour types.

Brain cancers can be particularly complex to treat, and every patient’s journey is different. Ongoing research continues to explore new approaches and deepen our understanding, with the aim of improving outcomes and quality of life.

This awareness month is an important opportunity to listen, learn, and support those affected.

The IOZK Foundation understands that privately funding care and treatments can be daunting and difficult. Thanks to the support of patient communities, we have created a comprehensive pack to help support anyone needing guidance on how to fundraise.

Please note, this is primarily for UK patients and has been supported by brainstrust. However, it is intended for anyone in the UK needing support for any medical treatment, anywhere. We intended to do further localised pacts for other regions soon.
