Prostate Cancer Survivor - Bill's Envita Review
When his annual wellness screenings revealed rising PSA levels, leading to a diagnosis of prostate cancer, Bill wanted a comprehensive precision care program to recover holistically. The aspiration to seek better outcomes compelled Bill to look for alternative treatments, going beyond the limited options for treating his prostate cancer. “They gave me only 2 options, full radiation or robotic surgery, and they were not open to anything else,” said Bill Gagnon, who traveled from Minnesota to Envita Medical Centers, a world-class integrative center for precision oncology, in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Understanding His Personalized Treatment
Contrary to his previous experience, Bill was satisfied with the detailed explanation about his personalized treatment plan at Envita. He felt heard by the doctors here, as they discussed how our proprietary genetic tests and lab work are crucial for personalizing a care plan with the maximum potential of cancer kill. “You have one doctor that you see, but you have a whole panel of doctors that meet to talk about your case... it's not just one person's opinion... they all get together,” said Bill, as he felt confident about his treatment plan, which did not include invasive surgeries.
Proprietary Diagnostics and Treatments
Envita's proprietary testing helps in determining the root causes triggering the growth and proliferation of the disease in each individual patient. Identifying these causes is critical for developing a comprehensive treatment plan, which not only attacks the cancer from all possible angles, but also strengthens the patient's immune system to fight the cancer. “It wasn't like it was a one-size-fits-all coming here, it was specially to your body,” added Bill, who was happy about his decision to seek treatment at Envita.
Our proprietary treatments, like the GTFC™ (Genetically Targeted Fractionated Chemotherapy) are designed to optimize cancer kill. This game changing technology utilizes metronomic dosage of a greater number of chemo agents than those used in maximum therapeutic dose standard untargeted chemotherapy. This precision-targeted approach greatly benefited Bill, as it typically enhances cancer kill and reduces side effects by attacking the cancerous cells without impacting the surrounding healthy cells.
Advanced Immunotherapies
Maintaining a healthy immune system helps you in your fight against cancer, as it is your first and last line of defense against cancer. At Envita, we have developed various personalized immunotherapies to suit each individual patient, depending on the factors triggering the growth and proliferation of their cancer. “They get to know you and they monitor you constantly... they are fantastic, and they don't leave your side,” said Bill, emphatically, as he felt that he was treated like a human, and not just a number here at Envita.
His Envita Connection
“This whole experience down here was amazing to me,” said Bill, who had decided to come to Envita after his wife's sister had a positive experience here. Now, after getting treated here, Bill wishes a similar holistic recovery for all patients. “I would recommend anybody to come here,” said Bill, who looks forward to a happy life, not just for himself, but for other cancer patients as well.
