Non profit cancer research organisation & charity
About My Offerings
Psycho-Genomics Research Institute Inc is a non-profit organization and charity dedicated to research links between psychological, physiological, environmental, genes, DNA and genomics (how genes function) in relation to cancer diagnosis, treatments and preventions.
My Background
We begin to join some research dots, we believe, for the first time anywhere. We are looking for cancer diagnostic, treatment and prevention opportunities for men and women from across their psychological indicators to the DNA and the entire genes pool,” said Mr Theo Richter, President, Psycho-Genomics Research Institute Inc.
One of the Institute’s findings in its paper notes that the immune system could play a central role in cancer treatment and progression. “Four earlier research outcomes provide a clue that by undertaking a cross sectional examination from psychological factors through our immune system to our DNA, we may impact on cancer treatment and progression strategies”, said Mr Richter.
The four different and unrelated research findings dealing with the immune system and cancer, expanded on in its paper, note that (1) it may be possible to find ways to use the immune system to contain cancer noted in a 2007 research finding that involved a researcher from the MacCallum Cancer Immunology Program in Melbourne; (2) that psychological factors, such as stress, depression and social support are able to modulate many of the immunologic activities relevant to patients with malignant disease; (3) that emotional expression may improve immune function and perhaps promote longer survival, and (4) that psychosocial factors such as social support and distress are associated with changes in the cellular immune response.
“By joining these research findings into a single research window, could it be that psychological and/or psychosocial interventions can also control cancers through addressing the immune system?” questions Mr Richter.
The answer to this and other questions are at the forefront of the Institute’s clinically and scientifically based new and expanded research direction for cancers affecting men and women. The Institute’s full research paper can be found at www.psycho-genomics.org .
Psycho-genomics cancer research is a study of treatment, prevention and diagnostic strategies by looking at cancer, non-cancer and survival populations taking into account their psychological, psychosocial, emotional, physiological, DNA and genomics (the entire genes pool) pathways.
