Dr. Dino Prato explains why cancer returns after surgery, chemo, or radiation: micrometastatic dormant cells hide in the body and reactivate years later. He recommends strengthening natural killer cells and T-cell activity to keep these hidden seeds from waking up.
After surgery, chemo, radiation, people wonder why cancer returns. Micrometastatic cells, dormant sleepers, one cell or a tiny cluster, hidden seeds, and years later it just wakes up and becomes metastatic. Now here's where integrative medicine comes in. In my clinical opinion, it's really important you work with a doctor and you have all your targets to slow down metastases, build good immunity, and re-engaging our immune system to improve natural killer cell function, T-cell activity, innate immunity. All those things are going to help you fight off cancer, but at the same time, prevent these sleeper cells from returning. That's the goal.
