Allen Rapert is cancer-free after experimental treatment success

dailymail.co.uk — March 16, 2025 at 04:01 PM UTC

Allen Rapert, 62, was diagnosed with stage four skin cancer in May 2023 and given months to live. Instead of surgery, he chose an experimental treatment in Mexico, which involved electric pulses and immunotherapy drugs. After five rounds of treatment, Rapert was declared cancer-free by December 2023, just seven months after his diagnosis. His tumor, initially the size of a tennis ball, shrank significantly during the treatment. The method used at the Williams Cancer Institute has shown an 85% success rate in treating advanced cancers. Rapert's case adds to reports of successful outcomes from this experimental approach.
