In this new episode of Learning How to Fight Cancer, Dr. Matt Halpert sits down with our very own Dr. Janet Maendel to explore a different way of thinking about cancer care, looking beyond the tumor itself.

Dr. Maendel shares her approach to understanding the “terrain” in which cancer grows, focusing on inflammation, immune health, metabolism, and the broader systems of the body. Together, they discuss why gathering the right information before starting treatment can be critical, and how personalized, data driven decisions can shape better outcomes.

Dr. Maendel shares practical guidance for patients and families navigating a new diagnosis, including the importance of building the right care team and resisting the urge to rush into decisions without a full picture.

Three years after completing treatment at Immunocine for Stage 2C/III Melanoma, Kevin is living life on his own terms again.

In this update, Kevin shares what life looks like years after his initial diagnosis, with no evidence of disease and no ongoing treatment. From walking his daughter to her first day of school to spending weekends at dirt bike races with his son, he reflects on the milestones that once felt uncertain and the perspective that comes from facing cancer head-on.

Today, Kevin is back to running his excavation business, planning for the future, and showing up fully for his family. While cancer remains part of his story, it no longer defines his present.

Three years ago, Kevin was navigating one of the most uncertain times of his life. After a Stage 2C melanoma diagnosis and a recurrence that forced him to look beyond standard options, he made the decision to pursue treatment in at Immunocine.

At the time, the focus was survival and response. Today, the focus is something entirely different. It is stability, family, and the quiet return to everyday life.

Thank you, Kevin, for continuing to share your story and inspire others.

It may seem like a basic question, but its an important one: what is immunotherapy? At its core, immunotherapy is any treatment designed to educate and or active your immune system to eliminate a threat.

In 2022, Kevin was diagnosed with Stage 2C Melanoma Cancer. Despite undergoing multiple surgeries and treatments in Toronto, Kevin’s condition stubbornly resurfaced, leaving him and his young family facing an uncertain future.

In April 2023, Kevin embarked on the six-week treatment protocol at our center in Cancun. Just two months later, his oncologist in Toronto was astounded by the remarkable progress.

He credits the IDCT with not just saving his life, but also giving him a future to look forward to.

Kevin was diagnosed with a rare melanoma in June 2022. After initial success with surgery and standard treatments, the cancer returned, leaving Kevin and his family scouring the globe for alternative treatments, leading them to discover Dendritic Cell treatment and ultimately Immunocine. Kevin began the IDCT protocol in April 2023. By June 2023, the effects of the treatment were undeniable. The treatment had not just worked; it was a resounding success.

A fair question is: why is Immunocine in Cancun, Mexico? This treatment is currently going through the regulatory process and until such time we are not able to widely offer this. We needed to look for locations that could safely and correctly offer this to patients today. Because when it comes to cancer, time is everything.

Whether you’ve followed Immunocine from the start or are just joining us, we’re grateful you’re here.

Our CEO and founder, Matt Halpert, delivered a welcome speech at the recent Immunocine Summit that serves as a great (re-)introduction for who we are.

At Immunocine, we’re focused on a fundamental problem in cancer care: many patients don’t have an immune system that’s effectively responding to their cancer. Rather than concentrating only on what causes cancer, we’re asking why the immune system isn’t eliminating it, and how we can help change that.

That starts with the science. And the Immunocine Dendritic Cell Treatment (IDCT) protocol. This is the first treatment of its kind to “Double Load” the patient’s Dendritic Cells with their extracted cancer cells. Using this completely new approach, our treatment is able to not only generate a natural immune response, but one that is comprehensive enough to attack a patient’s cancer throughout their body.

The future of cancer treatment is right here, right now.
