Because hCG or its variants, ßhCG and hCG-H, are produced by most types of cancer, CGT’s strategy of targeting them offers a therapeutic approach that may work for a wide variety of malignancies.

hCG is the hormone detected by most pregnancy tests. It is produced by human embryos and is essential for their implantation and growth in the womb. It shields the embryo from the mother’s immune system and stimulates the growth of blood vessels that nourish the fetus.

When the hCG variants, ßhCG and hCG-H are produced by cancer cells, they begin to promote the nourishment, growth and spread of cancer. The hCG variants’ powerful biological effects allow tumors to grow undisturbed by the immune system, contributing to terminal illness in most types of cancer.
