Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment - Carol's Envita Review
The lack of options in standard oncology and severe side effects of chemotherapy led Carol to look for alternative options for treatment of her stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. “I was very sick. I reacted to the first type of chemo,” said Carol Holizki, who traveled from Canada to Envita Medical Centers, an integrative Center of Excellence, located in Scottsdale, Arizona. She tried to continue with her standard of care regimen, but despite changing medications she was experiencing severe side effects, which made the treatment almost unbearable for her.

Exposure to Genomic Analysis and Precision-Targeted Care
At Envita, she was not limited to chemotherapy as her only treatment option, because our personalized precision oncology approach unlocks the gate to many more targeted interventions than those available in standard cancer treatment centers. Our advanced genomic analysis and proprietary tests lay the foundation for a comprehensively tailored care plan for each individual patient, like Carol. Personalizing a treatment plan to address the unique set of causes responsible for triggering disease growth and proliferation, helps to sustain lasting outcomes while reducing treatment related side effects.
Powerful Proprietary Treatments and Immunotherapies
“I never had any side effects or ill-effects at all from the treatments,” said Carol, who benefited from our proprietary treatments, like CIPI™ (Chemo Immuno Precision Injection), GTFC™ (Genetically Targeted Fractionated Chemotherapy), and other personalized immunotherapies. CIPI™ is our minimally invasive, interventional radiology procedure for tumor chemoembolization, which is extremely effective in tackling fibrous and difficult to reach tumors. It is utilized to deploy personalized chemo and immuno agents directly at the site of the tumor to deactivate it and train the immune system to identify cancerous cells elsewhere in the body.
Carol's breast cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and bones, but she responded positively to our powerful treatments, which combine cutting-edge conventional medicine with research-based natural and integrative therapies. Our GTFC™ utilizes metronomic dosage of a greater number of chemo agents as compared to maximum therapeutic dose untargeted chemotherapy, which makes GTFC™ precision-targeted to the cancerous cells while reducing impact to the surrounding healthy cells.
Optimal Response in an Optimistic Environment
“It's just a combination of everything,” said Carol, while explaining how the personalized immunotherapies boosted her immune system, potentiating her response to GTFC™. She emphasized how the optimistic environment at Envita helped her to accept and process her diagnosis, while a better understanding of her precision-targeted care plan encouraged her to look forward to a holistic recovery. “I have never had a doctor that would spend so much time, put so much energy into making a person feel and understand what's going on and what they are dealing with,” added Carol.
Her Envita Connection
“I can't imagine not being here, not coming through the treatment here. I would 100% recommend it,” said Carol, who feels fortunate about taking the decision to seek care at Envita. Her son had told her about his friend's relative who had a successful recovery at Envita and motivated her to consider treatment at our clinic. Carol's daughter and husband also wanted the same, but Carol was unsure because she did not want to travel so far away from home to get treated.
However, after looking through our website and speaking to one of our former patients, who also lives in Canada, Carol had made up her mind. “She couldn't recommend this enough and so then we decided this is where we are going to go,” added Carol, as she looks forward to going home and hopes that other patients, like her can also find direction during their decision-making process.
