Envita Medical Centers’ CIPI™ procedure could be a breakthrough for end-stage and complex
cancers
For the last 25 years, Envita Medical Centers has been focused on improving patient outcomes by providing advanced,
patient-specific treatment options that take precision targeting to the next level. Envita is proud to present a
precision form of tumor chemoembolization called Chemo Immuno Precision Injections, or CIPI™, as an advanced
treatment method for fibrous tumors that are difficult to penetrate through traditional intravenous chemotherapy
treatment. CIPI™ has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of pancreatic cancer and other difficult forms
of
cancer where surgery is not a viable option.

By combining our unique personalized treatment protocols with the accuracy and increased precision of direct
injection interventional radiology, we are approaching a new frontier in cancer treatment. CIPI™ represents the
latest advancements in cancer treatment and delivery, helping us realize our goal of always providing our patients
with the latest in cancer treatment technology and techniques so we can continue to give our patients the greatest
chance to respond to care.

What Is a Chemo Immuno Precision Injection?
CIPI™ is a procedure is a procedure performed at our Envita Interventional
Radiology facility
(EnvitaIR™). The CIPI™ procedure harnesses the latest in advanced patient-specific genomic data which is used to
create customized
immunotherapy treatments that are combined with adjuvant agents and deployed directly inside the tumors of concern.
CIPI™ is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes a catheter no thicker than a human hair which is fed from
an
appropriate vessel through the body and into the cancerous tumor. The personalized, micro-dosed, combination of
genetically targeted medications are injected directly into the tumor allowing for increased medication delivery and
reduced side-effects. By directly injecting medications into the tumor, we can potentially achieve maximum exposure of
the genetically targeted medications to the tumor making it one of the most powerful methods of medication delivery.
The blood supply to the tumor is then sealed off to help improve the effectiveness of the medications with precise
agent delivery.

Envita’s Treatment Selection Process
The CIPI™ procedure would just be run-of-the-mill chemoembolization if it were not for our development of a
treatment selection process that utilizes genetic information designed to personalize the treatment protocol with the
chemo genetic and immune genetic targets discovered from not only your tumor, but your unique genetic make-up.
By examining your miRNA, circulating tumor cell DNA, and tumor mutations, Envita’s in-house custom pharmacy develops
a
targeted treatment in combination with adjunctive supportive agents to enhance the actions of the drug. This targeted
and genetically driven treatment can work to not only attack your tumor but may also activate your immune system to
actively attack free circulating cancer cells.
The immune system is designed to seek and destroy cancerous cells and Envita Medical Centers’ treatment selection
process is designed to identify and upregulate your immune system to provide a multifaceted approach to targeting and
fighting your cancer.
Potential Advantages of CIPI™
CIPI™ is a minimally invasive targeted procedure for patients who cannot undergo surgical tumor removal for a
multitude of reasons. Surgery can be very detrimental to certain patients because surgery stresses the body and
suppresses the immune system. The risks of surgery become even greater when dealing with a complex or end-stage
cancer.
The CIPI™ procedure was designed for cancers that originate in dense tissues that traditional intravenous
chemotherapy has a difficult time penetrating, like pancreatic and liver cancer, but we have seen clinically CIPI™ be
an option for any cancer that is a solid tumor.
Traditional intravenous chemotherapy delivers maximum doses of chemotherapeutic agents throughout the entire body but
only a small percentage is estimated to reach the tumors it is meant to target. With the targeted medications being
directly delivered into the tumor’s themselves, and the blood supply sealed off, there is potentially a greater chance
for improved patient response.
Because the procedure is performed through a single catheter that is fed through the body’s circulatory system
directly
to the tumor, the incision site is very minor, patient’s leave with a single bandage on their wound while still
receiving maximum drug delivery allowing for quicker healing.
The goal of the CIPI™ procedure is to revolutionize patient care where the standard of care protocol is not
enough
or where the patient has failed other therapies and needs precision options to explore. The highly targeted nature of
the CIPI™ procedure is proving to be a possible alternative and we are excited to have developed this technology
to
help our patients thrive.
