Stage 4 Lung Cancer Survivor - Marcus' Envita Review
The lack of urgency and an experience of misdiagnosis in treating a disease as aggressive as stage 4 lung cancer had left Marcus and his family frustrated with standard conventional care. “You got cancer, and they give you an appointment next month,” said Marcus Meyer, who traveled from Louisiana to Envita Medical Centers, a world-class integrative center for precision oncology, located in Scottsdale, Arizona. “I was ready to go, where else are you going to go? Stay here and die or take a chance?” said Marcus, as he was determined to seek treatment going beyond the limits of standard oncology.

Powerful Precision Oncology
At Envita, we develop a personalized medical blueprint based on precision oncology to attack each patient's individual cancer from all possible angles. This approach is designed to give each patient a greater chance at increasing their longevity and improving their quality of life. We understand that cancer is a disease of genetic mutations, not of tissue types or organs, and genetics vary from person to person, which is why the standard one-size-fits-all protocols, based on cancer type and stage, do not work for all patients.
Envita's personalized precision oncology treatments are based on innovative genetic testing, which is typically not available to patients in standard oncology. “I knew I was at the right spot when I met with the doctor for the first time,” said Marcus. Our team of integrative physicians explained the detailed treatment plan to him and how it was designed to help him gain an edge over his stage 4 lung cancer.
Proprietary Genetic Tests and Treatments
“It's called technique... what is a technique? Something that works,” said Marcus emphatically. He was convinced with the personalized treatment plan at Envita, which is based on proprietary genetic tests of each individual patient. The detailed genetic analysis gives our team of integrative physicians a better understanding of each patient's individual cancer, its microenvironment, and other factors influencing its growth and spread. This insight is crucial for developing a comprehensive treatment plan, which includes our proprietary treatments, combining a powerful blend of the latest in standard oncology and research-based natural medicines. “After the first treatment, all the numbers started flying down,” added Marcus.
Our proprietary treatments include several minimally invasive procedures, like CIPI™ (Chemo Immuno Precision Injections), and GTFC™ (Genetically Targeted Fractionated Chemotherapy), which have proved beneficial for Marcus. CIPI™ is our interventional radiology procedure for chemo embolizing difficult to reach and fibrous tumors, while GTFC™ is our low-dose chemotherapy designed to optimize the mechanisms of action against each patient's individual cancer. All our proprietary treatments include immuno adjunctive agents to not only attack the cancer, but to also reactivate the patient's immune system, which is their first and last line of defense against cancer.
Advanced Personalized Immunotherapies
We include advanced personalized immunotherapies in the treatment plan of all our patients, including Marcus. These targeted immunotherapies are designed to strengthen each patient's immunity, which not only makes the anti-cancer treatments bearable, with minimal side effects, but it also reduces chances of a potential recurrence or further metastatic spread. Impressed with our detailed and proactive treatment plans, Marcus said, “They are professional people doing their job efficiently.”
His Envita Connection
Marcus' wife came across our website when she was frantically searching for different places to treat his stage 4 cancer, and the fact that their daughter worked as a traveling nurse in Tucson, Arizona, worked in their favor. “My daughter took a day off and drove two hours... and met with the staff and people here,” said Marcus, who firmed his resolve to seek treatment here, at Envita, when his daughter relayed the information about our facility. He is overjoyed with his results and emphasized that the team did a great job! “How I know? I'm here, and going home,” said Marcus with a smile, as he gears up to live life whole-heartedly!
