Title: Pancreatic enzymes and cancer
Biography
Biography: Linda Isaacs
Abstract
Pancreatic proteolytic enzymes have been used in the management of cancer for more than 100 years. The theoretical rationale was described by the embryologist Dr. John Beard, who noted the similarity of cancer cells to the trophoblast and who may have been the first researcher to speculate that cancer originates from stem cells. Various other practitioners have used pancreatic enzymes against cancer since Dr. Beard’s time. In her lecture, Dr. Isaacs will review this history, and describe case reports of breast cancer patients successfully treated with enzymes.
