As do most cancer facilities, we use anti-androgen and anti-estrogen therapy (such as armidex, tamoxifen, and faslodex) as needed. What most oncologists do not realize is that many tumors in addition to breast cancer, rely on estrogen to fuel its growth. A recent study at Howard Hughes Medical Institute revealed that many lung and colorectal cancers secrete its own estrogen to promote growth. Based on our extensive testing, we will consider the use of hormone therapy.
The relaxing décor of Ixtapa Palace Resort's guest-suites and condos offer an inviting retreat from a day spent exploring all Ixtapa has to offer. Featuring decorations that reflect the area, our guestrooms surround you with relaxation. With earth-toned wall coverings, warm lighting and furnishings dressed in local fabrics, you’ll feel like you’re one with the surroundings.
All laboratory testing is performed by laboratories not affiliated with the Institute and you may have the freedom to choose any of the highly qualified laboratories available in the area.
The reason we encourage our patients to use these laboratories is because reports and results are independent to reports we generate in house so the patients may compare the validity of the results.
A local laboratory is only minutes away from the Clinic. Transportation to and from the Laboratories is provided for you.
"The best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered."
