Breast Cancer Survivor- Patrizia's Envita Review
When an annual ultrasound routine revealed signs of early-stage breast cancer, Patrizia Battiston, was not convinced of her diagnosis. “How can there be something... when I've been doing all the right things,” said Patrizia, who refused the conventional one-size-fits-all treatments available in her country, Canada, to opt for a personalized and non-invasive treatment approach followed at Envita Medical Centers, a world-class integrative center for Precision Oncology, in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Cancer Is Not a Death Sentence
Patrizia had a healthy lifestyle, worked out 5-days a week, and ate organically, which is why she was shocked to hear her diagnosis, but the comforting words of our specially trained doctors helped her calm down and accept her diagnosis. “Cancer is not a death sentence,” was what the doctor had told Patrizia, a mother of two young children, during her first consultation. “That was comforting because... the first time you hear the C word, you're assuming the absolute worst,” said Steven, Patrizia's husband, who feels that the doctor's reassurance helped them move past the initial shock of diagnosis and understand the detailed treatment plan, personalized for Patrizia.
Patient-Specific Treatment Plan Based on Advanced Genetic Tests
At Envita, we develop a detailed medical blueprint for each individual patient based on the results of our in-depth testing. “I loved their specialized approach,” said Patrizia, who understood that personalized precision oncology treatments are designed to strike at the cause of the disease while proactively treating it to reduce chances of a recurrence or metastatic disease spread. “They were able to identify why the cancer came, what was the cause of the cancer, and give us a game plan on staying on top of that so it doesn't come back,” said Steven, while emphasizing why they chose to come all the way to Envita Medical Centers, leaving their children with family in Canada.
Personalized New Treatments
Our proprietary interventional radiology procedures like CIPI™ (Chemo Immuno Precision Injections) helped Patrizia gain an edge over her disease. As part of this minimally invasive surgical treatment, we deploy personalized chemo and immunotherapy agents directly at the site of the cancer to deactivate tumors and arrest chances of disease spread. We also used the quick and painless cryoablation procedure to precision-target the cancerous cells, while preserving the surrounding healthy tissues. “We didn't want the one-size-fits-all treatment, we wanted the treatment that was specific to Patrizia,” said Steven, while reiterating Patrizia's preference for an integrative and less-invasive treatment plan.
Her Envita Connection
They stopped their doctors in Canada from scheduling any procedures for treatment as they were motivated by the successful recovery of their friend, Sandy Yozipovic, who was treated at Envita for late-stage colon cancer, over 25 years back. “We knew we were coming to the right place,” added the relieved husband, as the couple gears up to reunite with their children back home.
