Schedule a ConsultationMaking Advanced Cancer Treatment More Accessible
The Center for Advanced Medicine recognizes the importance of accessible funding options for patients seeking advanced cancer treatments. We are committed to supporting patients in navigating the financial aspects of their healthcare journey, ensuring that quality care remains within reach.
Life Insurance Appraisal
An innovative financial solution that utilizes your existing life insurance policy, whereby cancer patients may turn a life insurance policy into immediate cash.
Home Mortgage
For those owning a home, taking a home mortgage may be a significant way to obtain funds to pay for treatments.
Networking
GoFundMe is an example of raising funds through networking and crowdfunding. Others seek out foundations or grants for treatments.
GoFundMeSamaritan Ministries
Samaritan Ministries is a valuable resource for patients seeking advanced cancer treatments. Samaritan Ministries, a health share program chosen by many instead of traditional health insurance, has consistently reimbursed patients up to 100% for our program costs, based on our past experiences.
While we cannot guarantee this outcome upfront, our history with Samaritan Ministries suggests a promising avenue for those seeking financial support for their cancer treatment journey.

Precision, Support, and Whole-Person Cancer Care
Our integrative approach combines carefully calibrated treatments with supportive therapies designed to strengthen the body, support the immune system, and personalize care around each patient.
Dose Matters
Low Dose Chemotherapy continues to be a force for treatment evolution in Oncology. Dose defines the difference between medicine and poison, help or harm.
Chemotherapy
Scientists have been questioning the “more is better” approach to chemotherapy for quite some time. The way we use chemo differs dramatically from conventional oncology. There are several distinct advantages to this approach of giving smaller doses more often.
Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT)
Insulin potentiation therapy, or IPT, affects the metabolism of cancer cells, making them more sensitive to chemotherapy agents. While we do not think it is appropriate for everyone, it can be an option for patients who have either failed full-dose chemotherapy previously, are not candidates for full-dose chemotherapy, or prefer to try a gentler and safer approach.

The lymphatic system plays a key role in the immune system’s ability to do its job, while also helping the body’s detoxification efforts. Lymphatic drainage therapy aims to address lymphatic congestion so that the lymphatic system can work optimally.
Mind-Body Therapy
We know there is a real connection between our thoughts and emotions and our immune system. Harnessing the power of the mind has significant therapeutic implications when fighting cancer. It turns out that our mental and emotional state can impact cancer treatment.

Viscum, the genus that mistletoe belongs to, has been discussed in cancer literature since the early 1900s. Dr. Ita Wegman first developed its use as an injectable agent for cancer around 1920. Research has subsequently shown that Viscum has several notable effects.

Mind-Body Medicine
Modern studies continue to illuminate the complex and powerful role that the mind plays in immunomodulation and inflammation regulation.
Nutrition
Research supports the importance of nutrition as it relates to cancer, but unfortunately most oncologists don’t incorporate it into their treatment recommendations. We are changing that.
Repurposed Medications
There are medications other than chemotherapy which have shown promise as anticancer agents. These medications were approved for a non-cancer indication, but found in subsequent research to target cancer cells in a unique way. Because they are not FDA approved to treat cancer, we use them in repurposed, off-label fashion when appropriate.
Learn MorePulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy
Cancer cells have been shown to have an abnormal resonance that differs from normal, healthy cells. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy, or PEMF, is a simple, painless, and non-invasive way to address abnormal resonance in cancer cells. PEMF has also been shown to assist in making cell membranes more permeable.
Learn MoreSono-Photodynamic Therapy
Sono-photodynamic therapy, or SPDT, combines sound and light to target cancer cells. A sensitizing agent is infused, which collects inside cancer cells and makes them susceptible to specific frequencies of sound and wavelengths of light. These non-toxic treatments harm cancer cells by creating reactive oxygen species.
