TAPCells®
Tapcells
Autologous Dendritic Cells Immunotherapy
TAPCells® has undergone phase I and II clinical trials, demonstrating its safety and long-term clinical effectiveness, prolonging patient survival.
The main advantages of TAPCells® are based on their abundance of diverse tumour antigens, which facilitates the recognition of cancer cells by the immune system. This generates a strong activation of the immune system by stimulating innate immunity.
TAPCells® therapy was developed by a team led by Dr. Flavio Salazar at the Anti-Tumour Immunology Laboratory (ATIL) of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Chile. Oncobiomed has the exclusive licence to manufacture and distribute TAPCells®.
Results
Phase I and II trials for malignant melanoma.
Phase I clinical trial for prostate cancer.
Immunological reactions against tumours prolonging patients’ survival.
It can be used on different tumours (breast, colon, and others). No adverse side effects were reported.
Dr. Salazar is a pioneer in Chile with this technique
Dr. Salazar is a pioneer in Chile with this technique. The vaccine is more than interesting because it gives the immune system the opportunity to recognise the tumour cells based on something that is native to the human body. That is different from what happens with conventional therapies, such as chemotherapy, which in many cases fail to get the immune system working again. If there is a chance of recovery, it is through these treatments.

Everything was gone, there were no more tumors
The treatment lasted between March and June 2010. And it worked. First, they told me metastasis had been reduced and then, in September, the scanner showed there was no detectable metastasis. Everything had disappeared, there were no more tumours. I continued with controls every six months until 2014 and since then, I get controls once a year. I’m healthy.

These have been my best years since I was diagnosed
In 2006, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. After undergoing surgery in the United States and radiation therapy without achieving the expected results, I decided to contact Oncobiomed. Since then, I’ve been able to keep my prostate antigen levels under control safely. These have been my best years since I was diagnosed, as I’ve managed to extend my life without any side effects, unlike other traditional cancer therapies.

I got the vaccine and went on with my normal life
In the midst of the pandemic, at the end of 2020, I was diagnosed with melanoma cancer. After having a tumour removed from my ankle, I contacted Oncobiomed to complement the procedures I was already receiving. The main advantage of this treatment is that there are no side effects and it is a personalised procedure. It is not something they did for the disease in general. They gave me the vaccine and I continued with my normal life, my hair never fell out, nothing.
