Antineoplaston therapy
Antineoplaston therapy is a type of alternative treatment. There is not enough reliable evidence that it can help to treat cancer.
Summary
Antineoplastons are found in urine and blood.
There is not enough reliable evidence to use it as a cancer treatment.
Antineoplaston therapy has side effects.
What are antineoplastons?
Antineoplastons are chemical compounds found normally in blood and urine. They are made up of amino acids and peptides. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Peptides are made up of two or more amino acids.
Why people with cancer use it
Dr Burzynski developed antineoplaston therapy in the s. He believes that:
- antineoplastons are part of the body’s natural defence
- it can protect against cancer
- people with cancer don’t have enough of them
At first, he took these compounds out of urine and blood. It's now possible to make them in the laboratory.
Dr Burzynski’s clinic has studied different types of cancer. The

About Stanislaw R. Burzynski MD, PHD
Dr. Burzynski, a nationally and internationally recognized physician/investigator, pioneered the use of biologically active peptides for the treatment of cancer. In , at the age of 24, Dr. Burzynski graduated first in his class of students from the Medical Academy in Lublin, Poland. It was at this time that he identified naturally occurring human peptides, which were deficient in cancer patients. He concluded that these peptides played a role in preventing the growth of cancer cells. In , he earned a PhD degree and became one of the youngest physician/investigators in Poland to hold both a MD and PhD degree.
Between and , he received funding from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for his work as a Principal investigator and Assistant Professor at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX. During this time he authored/coauthored numerous publications, including those detailing his work on naturally occurring human peptides and their effe

Burzynski Clinic
Purveyor of unproven cancer treatments
Hospital in Texas, United States
The Burzynski Clinic is a clinic selling an unproven cancer treatment, which has been characterized as harmful quackery.[1] It was founded in and is located in Houston, Texas, in the United States. It offers a form of chemotherapy originally called "antineoplaston therapy" devised by the clinic's founder Stanislaw Burzynski in the s. Antineoplaston is Burzynski's term for a group of urine-derived peptides, peptide derivatives, and mixtures. There is no accepted scientific bevis of benefit from antineoplaston combinations for various diseases, and the Clinic's claimed successes have not been replicated by independent researchers. The therapy has been rebranded in various ways over the years to mirror fashions in medicine, for example as a kind of "immunotherapy".[2] The therapy is administered through the ruse of running a large numbers of clinical trials, which lo
