CAR-T vs AAIT: The Secret Benefits and Risks of Cancer Immunotherapy
#22
Yesterday at 7:00 AM

Immunotherapy is revolutionizing cancer care — but not all immunotherapies are the same.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, explains the secret benefits and key differences between CAR-T cell therapy and AAIT (Autologous Adoptive Immunotherapy) — and why one approach may offer a safer, more personalized path for solid tumor cancers.

Dr. Prato breaks down how CAR-T therapy works for blood cancers and why it struggles with solid tumors, including the risks of cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity. Then he introduces AAIT, a next-generation immune therapy that trai...


The Hidden Truth About TILs and NK Cell Cancer Treatments
#21
Last Tuesday at 4:00 PM

Not all immunotherapies are created equal.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, compares TILs (Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes) with AAIT (Autologous Adoptive Immunotherapy) — two powerful immune-based approaches designed to help the body fight cancer.

While TILs are extracted from the tumor and reactivated before being reinfused, AAIT starts with fresh, healthy natural killer (NK) cells and dendritic cells taken from the blood. These are trained using danger signals (DAMPs) and tumor antigens to recognize and destroy cancer cells more effectively.

Is the Cure Worth the Treatment? Why Precision Oncology Changes Everything
#20
Last Monday at 4:00 PM

Is the cure worth the treatment?

In this episode of OutSmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, explores one of the toughest questions in oncology — why so many cancer treatments are harder on the body than the disease itself. He explains how maximum-dose chemotherapy can damage the immune system, cause painful side effects, and even drive resistance — while precision microdosing targets cancer more effectively with far less toxicity.

Using genetic mapping (DNA and RNA sequencing), spatial biology, and immune profiling, Dr. Prato shows how to match the right drug, dose, and...

10/27/2025

The success of any cancer treatment hinges on identifying the right molecular targets. Improved patient outcomes can be achieved through precision medicine. Biomarker testing guides targeted therapy in oncology, improving cancer care.

“What are my chances with this cancer?” is the wrong question. Here's what to ask instead.

How Do Tumors Hide From Treatment?
#14
10/24/2025

Why do so many cancers resist treatment — even when patients receive the strongest chemotherapy available?

In this episode, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, explains the “Great Wall of Cancer”: a fibrous stromal barrier that surrounds many tumors. This wall blocks chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and even the body’s own immune system from reaching the cancer.

Dr. Prato discusses how this barrier forms, why it accelerates metastasis in cancers like pancreatic, breast, stomach, colorectal, and head and neck cancers, and how Envita uses advanced testing to identify and measure it.
