They are finding the options they seek in individualized cancer therapies grounded in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.issels.com\/TreatmentSummary.aspx\">integrative immunotherapy<\/a>. The unique complexities of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.issels.com\/Cases.aspx#Colon\">colorectal cancer<\/a> and other forms of gastrointestinal cancer particularly lend themselves to individualized cancer treatment protocols. Also of note is the effectiveness of cancer vaccines in the treatment of colorectal cancer, specifically <a href=\"http:\/\/www.issels.com\/Vaccines.aspx\">autologous dendritic cell vaccines<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While considered a largely preventable cancer, colorectal cancer often goes undetected in its early stages. It may be several years before patients present symptoms. Symptoms can vary with the location of the tumor but may include fatigue, weakness, abdominal pain, weight loss, shortness of breath, spastic colon, diverticulitis, Crohn\u2019s disease, peptic ulcers, bloody stool, diarrhea or constipation.<\/p>\n<p>Diet education is part of Issels\u2019 holistic approach to cancer treatment. To help prevent colorectal cancer, a diet rich in fiber and colorful fruits and vegetables is recommended. Choose deeply pigmented foods such as blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates, carrots, red peppers, kale, broccoli, spinach and red cabbage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.issels.com\/AboutUs.aspx\">Visit our website<\/a> to find out more about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.issels.com\/default.aspx\">Issels integrative immunotherapy<\/a> program for the treatment of cancer and other immune diseases.
