Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How does immunotherapy differ from conventional treatment?
A: Conventional treatments like chemotherapy target tumors but can affect healthy tissue. Immunotherapy activates the body's own immune system to identify and fight cancer cells more precisely.
Q: Why do patients consider Mexico for cancer immunotherapy?
A: Mexico offers NK cell therapy, dendritic cell vaccines, and checkpoint inhibitors at 40–60% less than US pricing, with shorter wait times and accredited facilities in Tijuana, Cancun, and Monterrey.
Q: How do I verify a clinic in Mexico is safe?
A: Look for valid COFEPRIS licensing, ISO-certified laboratory environments, and accreditation from Mexico's General Health Council or JCI.
