Cancer Treatment with Rigvir® in Mexico and Latvia
Virotherapy is considered to be a relatively new way of getting rid of cancer cells, but it gains more and more support both from doctors and patients. First of all, it’s based on a synthesis of viruses that can be found in a human body. For instance, Rigvir®, abbreviated from Riga virus, is a virus originally revealed in the intestines of babies.
ECHO-7 virus, which is known as Rigvir®
Rigvir® is one of the ECHO viruses capable of killing the malignant cells. When you get an injection of Rigvir®, it scans your body in search of a tumor. It ends up with oncotropism – a process when the virus infects the malignant cell to destroy it from the inside.
What is revolutionary about virotherapy is its ability to avoid damaging healthy cells in contrary to chemotherapy or radio. You don’t need to worry that your hair will fall out as a side effect of exposure to radiation or chemo. Rigvir® has no side effects except for potential body temperature increase (37.5°C/99.5°F) and drowsiness.
Virotherapy for cancer was developed in the 1950-60s while the first trials were made in 1968 targeting melanoma. Rigvir® was patented in 2002, registered in Latvia in 2004, and gained official recognition in Georgia and Armenia in 2015 and 2016 accordingly. In Latvia, a strong medical team of virotherapists carry out regular trainings and workshops for physicians interested in (but not limited to) Rigvir in South Africa and Mexico. So far, Mexico features only one clinic accredited by the Latvian International Virotherapy Center.
Before choosing between virotherapy in Mexico or Latvia, it’s highly recommended to start collecting your medical records for free case evaluation. Because every cancer case is different, the oncologists should first study your medical files to see whether you qualify for Rigvir® vaccine. The list of the documents for your eligibility assessment includes:
- Recent blood count, as well as WBC – not older than 2 weeks
- Histopathological records
- CT and MRI reports (no images required)
- Cytological findings
- Analysis for creatinine and ALT
Normally, it takes up to 72 hours for the medical team to look into your case. When the results of the evaluation are ready, the patient coordinator will email you the details of the assessment and further instructions.
