High-Grade Neuroendocrine Carcinoma Treatment - Scott's Envita Review
Given only 6 weeks to live, Scott, a neuroendocrine carcinoma patient, decided to find a way to defy this grim prognosis by his oncologist. “He told me the bad cells were doubling against me at a 96 percent rate,” said Scott Pinckard, who traveled from Tennessee to Envita Medical Centers, a Center of Excellence for precision integrative oncology, located in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Strong Determination to Improve Outcome
“I'm a calculated risk person... I knew the numbers were not good,” said Scott, who realized that he had to act fast to turn the tables, as he was running out of time. Arising from the pancreas, this high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma, small cell type, had spread to the liver and other surrounding areas, manifested by numerous tumors. “I knew I had limited time,” added Scott, explaining the reason behind his strong determination to seek advanced precision oncology treatments with the potential to go beyond the scope of standard of care.
Innovative Combination Approach
“I knew their hands are tied,” said Scott, explaining why he chose to not pursue the standard one-size-fits-all treatment protocols dictated by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. At Envita Medical Centers, our team of specially trained physicians, custom-develop unique treatment protocols for each individual patient, based on a detailed analysis of their genetics, immune status, as well as other factors influencing the growth and spread of their disease. Our innovative combination approach utilizes the latest conventional treatments and advanced natural therapies to precision-target the cancerous cells, while bolstering the patient's immune system concurrently.
Personalized Proprietary Treatments and Immunotherapies
“It changed my life. I got a second chance,” said Scott. He benefitted from this innovative approach, which included Envita's proprietary personalized treatments and immunotherapies, like CIPI™ (Chemo Immuno Precision Injections). CIPI™ utilizes a tiny catheter, thinner than a strand of hair, to administer targeted chemotherapy and immunotherapy agents directly at the site of the tumor. This advanced approach helps to deactivate the tumors, while training the patient's immune system to identify and proactively treat cancer cells elsewhere in the body. “I'm cancer free. I mean I had one PET scan, I paid for a second one because nobody really believed the first one. At that point, I was 98% clear and then they did another CIPI™ and got rid of the rest of it,” added Scott.
His Envita Connection
“I got four grandsons and I want to see them grow up,” said Scott, as he felt overwhelmed about defying the limited time with a remarkably successful recovery. He had known about the successful recoveries at Envita, as some of his professional acquaintances had earlier been treated here. However, when his daughter, who is a nurse, and other medical professionals, who were researching alternative treatment options for him, affirmed their belief in Envita's unique treatment approach, Scott and his family decided to seek care here. “That was a God-ordained moment,” said Scott, explaining how one of his daughters took the lead in arranging his travel to Arizona. Scott and his family feel fortunate about taking the right decision at the right time, as he looks forward to celebrating life with his wife, children, and grandchildren.
