OutSmart Cancer - Precision Oncology. Less Guess Work. More Life!

What if the goal of cancer treatment wasn’t more drug — but smarter delivery?

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato explains how peptides and metabolic primers can dramatically improve the effectiveness of precision oncology when used correctly. Drawing from more than 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Prato walks through the evolution from early insulin potentiation therapy (IPT) to today’s genetically targ...

What is the best treatment for advanced melanoma — and why do some therapies fail while others succeed?

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, breaks down the future of melanoma care: deep mapping and immune-centered precision oncology. Using DNA, RNA, and spatial biology, Dr. Prato explains how mapping every pathway — not just BRAF mutations — gives doctors a full picture of...

The history of cancer treatment is not the clean, linear story most of us were taught. It’s a story of brilliant pioneers, fierce resistance, political power, money, and ideas that were once ridiculed — only to later become foundations of modern medicine.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, lifts the veil on the forgotten innovators who helped shape today’s precision oncol...

When Fran was diagnosed with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastases, she was offered one option: palliative radiation and more chemotherapy. She said no. Not because she gave up — but because she wanted a plan built for her, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, shares how precision oncology and immune-centric care helpe...

What if the most powerful cancer treatment isn’t a drug — but your own body?

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, challenges the war-based model of oncology and explains why the immune system is the most important anti-cancer weapon we have. Long before chemotherapy and radiation existed, the body was already eliminating early cancer cells thousands of times a day. When can...

Most cancer care still treats populations — not people.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, introduces OncoMeta, a revolutionary precision ecosystem that designs custom cancer treatment programs based entirely on each patient’s unique biology. Instead of guessing, OncoMeta maps your DNA, RNA, and immune spatial biology to reveal every cancer driver and immune blockade — th...

Imagine scanning a tumor like a 3D object — then generating a custom treatment plan built entirely around your biology. That’s generative oncology, the future of cancer care.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, explains how AI + physician intelligence + multi-omics testing work together to design N-of-1 treatment plans for each patient. Instead of relying on 10–20 markers,...

When you hear the words “clinical trial,” you’re told it might be your breakthrough. But what most patients aren’t told is how clinical trials actually work — and what their limitations are.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, explains the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable truth about cancer clinical trials. Most trials are designed to test one drug against one marker, ...

Chemotherapy didn’t start in a clinic — it started in a war.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, pulls back the curtain on the origins of modern oncology and why, 80 years later, the system still relies on the same high-dose, population-based model born from wartime poisons.

From the discovery of mustard gas toxicity in 1942 to today’s billion-dollar chemotherapy ...

Imagine beating breast cancer — only for it to come back a year later in the other breast.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, exposes why so many breast cancer patients relapse — and how precision oncology could have prevented it. Standard protocols and limited RNA blood tests often miss key drivers, leaving patients on the wrong medications 90% of the time.

Dr. ...

What if the best cancer treatment for you can’t be mass-produced? What if the drug, dose, pathway targets, and delivery route all have to be custom-designed from the ground up — not because it's luxurious, but because it’s necessary?

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato explains why true precision oncology is fundamentally different from standard cancer care. Inspired by the St. Jude model for rare pedia...

“Green lights” don’t always mean you’re cancer-free.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, shares the story of Marco, a 56-year-old colon cancer patient who thought his clear scans meant remission — until the cancer came back in his liver months later.

Despite surgery, chemo, and even integrative vitamin C therapy, Marco’s testing missed critical early warning signs...

If 70% of your immune system lives in your gut, then your microbiome may be one of the most powerful tools you have in your cancer journey.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, explains why the gut lining — packed with immune cells, microbes, and signaling pathways — determines how well you respond to chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and precision-built biologics.

You...

Pancreatic cancer is one of the toughest cancers in the world — not just because of its location, but because of the stromal barriers that block chemotherapy from reaching the tumor. Most IV chemo delivers less than 1% of the drug to the cancer itself. The result: months of toxicity with very little benefit.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, explains how precision oncolo...

Most cancer patients never hear the truth: access to care doesn’t mean access to the best care.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, breaks down why standard cancer treatment often fails to deliver long-term results. Built around population averages, insurance billing, and hospital revenue models — not the patient — most protocols overlook the thousands of genetic and immun...

She was 67, a grandmother, diagnosed with Stage IV ER/PR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer — with metastases through her bones. Standard chemotherapy left her devastated: fatigue, nausea, hair loss, neuropathy, and no lasting results. She vowed never again.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, shares how precision oncology changed everything. Using deep mapping (DNA, RN...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the hardest cancers in the world to treat — not just because it grows fast, but because it spreads like hidden tentacles throughout the brain and hides behind the blood–brain barrier.

In this episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, explains why GBM keeps coming back even after surgery, radiation, and temozolomide — and how deep multi-omics mappi...

Your body is a city — and your immune system is its army. Every day, it stops thousands of threats without you ever knowing. But when cancer learns to hide behind fake ID badges, jam the “radio signals,” or build stromal barriers, the immune system can lose its ability to see the enemy.

In this powerful episode of Outsmart Cancer, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, uses storytelling to explain exactly how t...

Once upon a time, there was a peaceful village — until King Tumor arrived.

In this unique Outsmart Cancer episode, Dr. Dino Prato, founder of Envita Medical Centers, tells a bedtime story that reveals the truth about how cancer really grows — and how precision oncology gives the body the power to fight back. Through the story of a cruel king and a brave village, Dr. Prato illustrates how traditional treatments like surgery...
