Bangalore-based SBF Healthcare & Research Centre (SHRC) received the US patent and CE certification. It has also received Singapore and Russian patents. The company is presently awaiting Australian and European patents. In addition, it was also certified ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13485.
“These credentials are just an added proof of how an Indian innovation provides relief to cancer cases around the world. SPMF Therapy is India’s contribution to the world of medicine and is set to revolutionize the treatment of some forms of cancer. The number of overseas patients who have been successfully treated here at Bangalore is a firm testament to the efficacy of this therapy and how eager the medical world was for such a breakthrough,” said pioneered by Dr. V G Vasishta, founder & CEO, SBF Healthcare.
The company also stated that for the 300 cases suffering from cancer, mainly brain tumors like glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), SPMF therapy, could offer a ray of hope and much necessary medical intervention in the treatment of brain tumors.
SPMF therapy, which is basically based on MRI technology, has shown definitive results and has offered hope for thousands of patients across the world. It is performed for one hour every day for 28 consecutive days. The patient is evaluated using MRI and the Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) which are gold standards for evaluating the efficacy of a therapy. Patients can go about their usual activity during the treatment. It halts the progression of the disease and progresses quality of life and survival period. It also progresses the patient’s emotional and psychological wellbeing, he added.
SPMF is delivered by the device Aktis Soma invented by Dr. Vasishta. SBF Centers are presently located at Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune and Chennai.
“We are formally launching our cancer treatment after treating more than 300 cases. The results of the SPMF therapy is published in many international peer reviewed precise journals. It is a historical movement for India as this therapy is our export to the western world in the treatment of certain forms of cancer. SPMF therapy will be a game changer for brain cancer treatment across the world,” said Dr. Vasishta.
SPMF is also being used to treat Osteoarthritis (OA). This therapy is a non-surgical treatment that supports both regenerate cells in OA and degenerate cells in cancer. It is a technology that produces highly complex sequentially programmed magnetic fields, which are computer-controlled and can be exactly focused on to the target tissues with the support of laser guides.
