Williams Cancer Institute treatments are minimally invasive and highly technological, using a specialised needle guided by diagnostic imaging means, which allows to reach the tumour directly without generating large cuts, scars or burns on the patient’s body, reducing the risk of bleeding and infection and drastically improving the aesthetics of the treatment.
Dr Jason Williams is the Director of Interventional Oncology and Immunotherapy at the Williams Cancer Institute, where he has been advancing the use of intra-tumoral immunotherapy. Dr Williams is a medical doctor, board-certified radiologist, image-guided cancer specialist, researcher, and professor. He performed the world’s first ablation procedure and implemented an intra-tumoural injection of a specific combination of immunotherapy agents, thus leveraging the actual process of ablation as an immunotherapy agent itself.
Cancer ablation functions like a “tumour vaccine.” It works to release your body’s immune response. Ablation functions differently than a typical vaccination approach. Traditional vaccinations inject a “killed” or weakened disease-causing agent into the body. Ablation actually “kills” the tumour from within and prompts the body’s immune system to target any additional cancer cells.
