Jan Ženka is the author of MBTA cancer immunotherapy. Together with his team, he developed the method through years of dedicated work, successfully tested it in mouse models, and prepared it for clinical trials.

A brief overview of the therapy is available on our foundation’s website, along with Jan Ženka’s compelling article “Cancer – The Unequal War Between a Malignant Tumor and the Body”, which explores the striking parallels between cancer’s behavior and that of aggressive invaders in society.

Jan Ženka is also the author of the book “Cancer Immunotherapy: When the solution comes at the right time” (Kindle Edition), which chronicles the development of the MBTA therapy from childhood experiments with chemistry to a professional career in biochemistry.
