One of my family members is suffering from Stage IV Colorectal Adenocarcinoma. She is scheduled for surgery and colostomy due to the obstruction of the tumor. She is still hoping to be able to try your Stem Cell Therapy after her surgery. When will it be available?

Dr. Lenz,

Last I heard was that you estimated clinical trials to be open for ICG-001 in the first quarter of 2010. Is everything still on track to meet this goal? Do you know what the requirements will be to join this trial?

thanks,

Ryan

Sorry to hear about the cancer growth in your mother. Stem Cell therapy is not ready yet however you should get second opinions about clinical trials ongoing in a cancer center near you. Hope this helps.

Hi, Dr.lenz: I have heard that stem cells from umbilical cord can be injected into baby’s father to treat colon cancer. Is it true? And how does it work? Is anyone using it in clinic on patients? Please advise. Thank you.
