IPT.. insulin potentiation therapy
It's a low dose chemotherapy given to patients who can't take or don't want regular chemotherapy for cancer. It's palliative care meaning that it's used in patients who can't be cured.
Usually it's way of reducing side effects. As we know cancer uses glucose for energy.so we keep patients blood glucose low with insulin. Then give low dose chemotherapy and immediately after that give a dose of glucose. Cancer cells open their channels for glucose and along with it chemo also goes into cancer cells. This is at least the theory.
We have been doing this for our patients who are interested in it.
For any more information please feel free to contact me at ±923239186000
Or visit our clinic at 473 Airline Society near Shoukat Khanum hospital and University of central Punjab. Thanks
