ROSEVILLE, Minn., May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Parker Hughes Clinics is pleased to announce the opening of Biotherapy Centers of America. Biotherapy Centers of America will offer treatment to patients suffering from cancer and inflammation disorders such as Crohn's disease, colitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Biotherapy Centers of America is headed by Dr. Fatih Uckun, M.D., an internationally renowned leader in the field of biotherapy who was the former director of the multidisciplinary Biotherapy Program and the Biotherapy Institute at the University of Minnesota.
Biotherapy is a state-of-the-art approach to treating cancer and inflammation that employs rationally designed selective agents with specific targets to treat cancer and inflammation. "Biotherapy using FDA-approved biotherapeutic medicines has emerged as an alternative as well as supplement to traditional drug treatments for cancer, Crohn's disease, colitis and rheumatoid arthritis. The opening of the Biotherapy Centers of America represents an important step in making this option more broadly available to patients who may benefit from it," Uckun said.
