Fatima's Story: CIMAvax-EGF® Immunotherapy for Stage IV Lung Cancer
After completing first-line chemotherapy for stage IV non-small-cell lung cancer, Fatima traveled to Cuba for CIMAvax-EGF® immunotherapy. The integrative oncology program supported her recovery and quality of life.
"The care I received at La Pradera went beyond medical treatment. They gave me hope and treated me with dignity throughout my stay."
— Fatima H., Turkey
The Diagnosis
Fatima, a 54-year-old teacher from Istanbul, was diagnosed with stage IV non-small-cell lung cancer (adenocarcinoma). After completing first-line chemotherapy, her oncologist discussed the option of Cuban immunotherapy vaccines. The family researched CIMAvax-EGF® and contacted La Pradera's international patient services.
Medical Review and Eligibility
Fatima's complete medical records — including pathology reports, CT scans, and treatment history — were reviewed by La Pradera's integrative oncology team. They confirmed she was eligible for CIMAvax-EGF® therapy, as she had completed first-line chemotherapy and met the treatment criteria.
The Treatment Journey
Fatima and her husband traveled to Havana for a 42-day treatment program. The protocol included CIMAvax-EGF® injections, nutritional oncology support, psychological counseling, and quality-of-life therapies. The integrative approach focused on supporting her immune system while managing treatment side effects.
Supportive Care
Beyond the immunotherapy, Fatima received comprehensive supportive care — pain management, nutritional counseling tailored to her needs, and psychological support. The multilingual team included a Turkish-speaking coordinator who ensured clear communication throughout.
Return Home and Coordination
Fatima returned to Istanbul with a detailed treatment summary that was shared with her home oncologist. The La Pradera team remains in contact with her family for follow-up coordination. Fatima reports improved quality of life and continues to be monitored by her oncologist in Turkey.
