Cancer Treatment Program
Advanced Care for Cancer
We recognize cancer as a severe degenerative disease. The Sanoviv Cancer Treatment Program is designed to address the root cause of the disease and provide healing support to your whole body. Our integrative approach uses the best of cutting-edge, science-based therapies and technology combined with nutrition, supplementation, detoxification, and natural medicine. We intend to add healthy, disease-free years to your life.
Sanoviv can help you understand cancer from a different perspective: one of hope, care, and respect. This perspective includes options that make sense and ensure you’re a full partner in your healing. Even though cancer is a severe disease, it can often be overcome. Your team of doctors, nutritionists, specialists, psychologists, biological dentists, chiropractors, imaging technicians, fitness experts, and spa therapists is ready for the challenge to help you achieve excellent health and healing.
We believe in a balanced approach to cancer therapies and use a natural approach to promote healing by supporting the body’s defense systems whenever possible. Our practitioners draw from the best alternative, complementary, and conventional therapies. Many of our natural and biological therapies have their roots in Europe, where they have been practiced for decades.
At Sanoviv, you are assigned a 7-member team to work with you, including a medical doctor, nutritionist, psychologist, chiropractor, biological dentist, fitness professional, and bioenergetic specialist. Experience a completely integrated team to assess and recommend solutions for your health concerns. Together, we take a whole-body approach to your wellness and offer everything under one roof, in a beautiful healing environment. From nutritious, prepared meals to advanced alternative therapies, Sanoviv takes care of everything so you can focus on feeling better.

What is Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapies are the centerpiece of our cancer treatment programs. Immunotherapy refers to any treatment or therapy that works in conjunction with or supports the body’s own natural immune system. (By contrast, some conventional treatments can weaken the body’s natural immune defenses, which can lead to recurrences.) Each treatment is made using the patient’s own immune cells. The specific type of immunotherapy that each patient receives is selected by our on-site oncologist to fit his or her unique situation. Our immunotherapies have resulted in long lasting, positive clinical responses–even in patients whose tumors were resistant to conventional therapies. Current research suggests that cancer cells are capable of constantly suppressing the body’s immune response. So, therapies that help the immune system are a priority. Since we are modulating a person’s immune system, there is no toxicity to healthy tissues.
The following are examples of immunotherapies that may be used as part of your cancer treatment:
- Dendritic Cell Therapy
- Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TILS) Therapy
- Natural Killer (NK) Cell Therapy
- Tumor-Specific Antigen Therapy
- Immunax
Key Program Features
We use many therapeutic interventions to enhance your body’s ability to destroy cancer cells while respecting the integrity of normal, healthy cells. Our goal is to slow or stop the progression of the disease while improving the quality and length of life. Treatments are designed to change the tumor microenvironment and impact known cancer while also addressing cancer stem cells and circulating tumor cells that can lead to recurrences or metastases of cancer. Here are the key program features:
- Immunotherapies
- Regional and Whole-Body Hyperthermia—Regional hyperthermia heats tumor material in a localized area, causing its metabolism to break down. Whole-body hyperthermia may be used to promote detoxification and stimulate the immune system.
- Oxygen Therapies—Medical-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and ozone therapy improve oxygen delivery to all tissues, promoting healing and improving the microenvironment in the affected areas.
- Nutrition Therapy—At Sanoviv, we believe in biochemical individuality. Just as there is not one type of cancer, there is not one diet best for every cancer patient. We explore how your body responds to food and consider genetics, diet history, ancestral background, food preferences, and environmental interaction. Diet is an integral part of cancer treatment.
- Psychology and the Mind-Body Connection to Health—Psychology and mind-body therapies help address stress and trapped emotions, which can block the healing response. Studies show that when a person’s mental, emotional, and physical components are in balance, the individual moves into a more relaxed state, which promotes healing.
- Bioenergetic Treatments—All living things generate electricity to sustain life. The elements in our cells carry electrical charges to send vital signals to different body parts. The heart is a prime example. In our Bioenergetics department, we use various tools and bioelectric therapies to restore balance and flow to the body’s energetic systems.
- Fitness—Overwhelming evidence shows the benefits of balanced fitness in cancer treatment and prevention. Our fitness professionals work closely with Sanoviv doctors, nutritionists, and chiropractors to develop a plan that helps your recovery. This ensures you receive all the benefits of movement without exceeding your physical capacity or risking injury.
- Detoxification—The body needs to eliminate toxins to improve immune function and reduce the side effects of some treatments. Detoxification is a foundational part of Sanoviv’s Cancer Treatment program. Our therapies help open the body’s detoxification pathways to improve metabolic function. At Sanoviv, you are in a unique, low-toxin environment to enhance healing.
At Sanoviv, instead of treating just the disease, we treat the whole person who has the disease.
