Method of treating cancer using platelet releasate
View Patent ↗Platelets are concentrated from the blood of a patient. The platelets are treated by a method such as ultrasound or agitation to obtain platelet releasate. This releasate as a whole or a component thereof is formulated into an injectable formulation which is administered to the same patient the platelets were extracted from in order to treat the patient's cancer.
1. A method for treating glioblastoma cancer comprising:
extracting blood from a patient in need of cancer treatment;
concentrating platelets from the blood;
processing the platelets in a manner which breaks open the platelets and obtaining an injectable platelet releasate;
formulating the platelet releasate into an injectable formulation buffered to a pH of 7.4±5%; and
injecting the platelet releasate to the patient in need of said glioblastoma cancer treatment.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the processing comprises exposing the platelets to energy waves.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administering comprises injecting the platelet releasate into a tumor of the patient.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administering comprises injecting the platelet releasate into a cancerous tumor of the patient.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient treated with the formulation is the same patient from which the blood is extracted from, and the formulation is buffered to pH 7.4±2%; and wherein the platelets are processed for a period of time and under conditions so as to break open 90% or more of the platelets.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
repeatedly injecting a therapeutically effective amount of the formulation to the patient over a period of time while monitoring the patient and adjusting dosing to effectively treat the cancer.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein injecting of the injectable platelet releasate is to an area where a tumor has been removed from the patient.
