HeberFERON is an innovative combination therapy developed in Cuba, designed for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and other types of skin cancer. This novel therapeutic approach combines two types of interferons—alpha-2b and gamma—providing a unique mechanism of action that enhances the immune response against cancer cells. This document delves into the scientific basis,...
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a common type of skin cancer that arises from basal cells, which are responsible for producing new skin cells. This form of cancer typically appears on areas of the skin frequently exposed to the sun, such as the head and neck. Although BCC grows slowly and is rarely fatal, it...
Lung carcinoma is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In lung cancer, the healthy cell that becomes the tumor cell is in the epithelium lining the entire respiratory tree from the trachea to the thinnest terminal bronchiole. Symptoms may include cough, chest discomfort or pain, weight loss and less frequently hemoptysis (coughing up blood)....
Cancer is clearly the deadliest disease known worldwide as it is the second leading cause of deaths globally with an estimated prevalence of one in three people developing cancer during their lifetime . The term Cancer defines a large group of diseases that can affect any part of the body; the pathological mechanism of cancer...
CubaHeal Research Department: 90 % of head and neck cancers are mostly squamous cell carcinomas. These carcinomas include nasopharyngeal cancer, nasal cavity, paranasal sinus cancer, oral and oro pharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, hypo pharyngeal cancer and salivary gland cancer. As carcinomas their name indicates they are malignant tumors. Oral and oro pharyngeal, laryngeal, hypo pharyngeal...
Life expectancy of Cuban population has increased significantly over the past decade. In 2014, an average life expectancy was shown to be 78.5 years (1). It is predicted that approximately a third of the entire population in Cuba is going to reach the age of 60 by the year 2030 (2). The increased life expectancy,...
