Peptide Therapy focuses on using the immune system to activate specific T-cell responses during cancer treatment. Peptide therapy will often be combined with other integrative therapies as part of a wider and personalised cancer care programme built for you by Verita Life.
Peptide therapy
Peptides are short chains of amino acids which have become increasingly popular in the health and longevity space. In the context of cancer care, we focus on peptide-based vaccines for immunotherapy, primarily focusing on stimulating immune responses against tumours.

01 / Overview
About Peptide Therapy
02 / How it works
How Peptide Therapy works
T-cells are an essential part of your body’s immune response and can recognise different markers, also known as antigens, when activated appropriately.
At Verita Life we use peptides derived from tumour-associated antigens, with the aim to help T-lymphocytes to recognise and respond to cancer-associated markers.

03 / When it is considered
When this treatment may be considered
The immune system differs from patient to patient, and the type and stage of cancer you have can influence immune responses in different ways. Our medical team will review your cancer diagnosis and treatment history before discussing what immune therapies might be beneficial for you.

06 / Questions
Questions patients ask
Is Peptide Therapy suitable for every cancer patient?
No, but our medical team will determine the best treatments for you and your individual case.
Are all Peptides safe and effective against Cancer?
No, caution and experienced medical guidance needs to be used. ‘Wellness’ peptides have surged in popularity recently but can carry risks for cancer patients as they can theoretically encourage or stimulate tumour growth.
