Hi, I`m new to this group, I have stage 4 bowel cancer which has spread to my liver, I have only been offered pallitive care.

I have begun to look at alternative treatments and have come across DCT Dendritic cell therapy.

Has anyone got any experience of this please ?

Hi oatly and a warm welcome to the board. If you click on the search symbol at the top of the page and type dendritic then it will bring up previous posts - I’ve attached a link to one of them below but there’s also one in the Ask the Nurse section that’s been posted

Regardingtreatment offered at this stageHi Karen, thanks for getting in touch, The link you gave me about Dendritic cell therapy was interesting. I have not currently been offered any further treatment other than pallitive care. I am trying to track down any clinical trial results, but as yet none found.

Regards Dave.
