About Perseus PCI

Perseus PCI is a cancer treatment center headquartered in the Cayman Islands. Perseus provides an effective treatment approach for solid-tumor cancers that produces little to no side effects and can be an alternative to chemotherapy and radiation. The therapy, which uses the natural immune system, is easily administered by injection under the skin surface once a month for four months. This technology’s safety and effectiveness has been proven in US FDA sanctioned trials. The US approval process is ongoing, but this treatment has been approved for manufacture and administration by the Health Practice Commission of the Cayman Islands.

The therapy offered by Perseus is a dendritic cell-based immunotherapy, which has already been shown to be effective against melanoma, renal cell carcinoma and neuroblastoma tumors. Dendritic cells can be stimulated to activate a cytotoxic (killer) response toward the particular tumor. The patient’s dendritic cells are loaded with all of the patient’s tumor cell components to make the vaccine. When the vaccine is administered to the patient, the dendritic cells, a type of antigen-presenting cell, present the tumor antigen to the effector lymphocytes (CD4+ T cells and CD8+ cells), which initiates a cytotoxic response against the tumor cells.
