Anticancer Fund
The Anticancer Fund (ACF) is a Belgian private not-for-profit foundation that provides evidence-based information for patients about cancers and therapies.
Antigen
In immunology, an antigen (Ag) is a molecule, moiety, foreign particulate matter, or an allergen, such as pollen, that can bind to a specific antibody or T-cell receptor.
Autism
Autism, also called autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or autism spectrum condition (ASC), is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by symptoms of deficient reciprocal social communication and the presence of restricted, repetitive and inflexible patterns of behavior that are impairing in multiple contexts and excessive or atypical to be developmentally and socioculturally inappropriate.
See GcMAF and Autism
B cell
B cells, also known as B lymphocytes, are a type of white blood cell of the lymphocyte subtype.
See GcMAF and B cell
Biochemistry
Biochemistry or biological chemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms.
Business Insider
Business Insider (stylized in all caps, shortened to BI, known from 2021 to 2023 as Insider) is a New York City–based multinational financial and business news website founded in 2007.
See GcMAF and Business Insider
Cancer Research UK
Cancer Research UK (CRUK) is the world's largest independent cancer research organisation.
See GcMAF and Cancer Research UK
Cancer treatment
Cancer treatments are a wide range of treatments available for the many different types of cancer, with each cancer type needing its own specific treatment.
See GcMAF and Cancer treatment
Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences
Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences is a peer-reviewed medical journal that publishes review articles on all aspects of clinical laboratory sciences on an invitation-only basis.
See GcMAF and Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences
Cytotoxicity
Cytotoxicity is the quality of being toxic to cells.
David Noakes
David Noakes (born March 1953) is a British computer consultant, businessman and politician, who founded Immuno Biotech Ltd.
Glycolysis
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate and, in most organisms, occurs in the liquid part of cells (the cytosol).
Institutional review board
An institutional review board (IRB), also known as an independent ethics committee (IEC), ethical review board (ERB), or research ethics board (REB), is a committee at an institution that applies research ethics by reviewing the methods proposed for research involving human subjects, to ensure that the projects are ethical.
See GcMAF and Institutional review board
International Journal of Cancer
The International Journal of Cancer is a biweekly peer-reviewed medical journal covering experimental and clinical cancer research.
See GcMAF and International Journal of Cancer
Α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase
α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase is a glycoside hydrolase from bacteria and animals, also known as nagalase.
See GcMAF and Α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase
Journal of Leukocyte Biology
The Journal of Leukocyte Biology is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal covering all aspects of immunology.
See GcMAF and Journal of Leukocyte Biology
Journal of Medical Virology
The Journal of Medical Virology is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal covering fundamental and applied research concerning viruses which affect humans.
See GcMAF and Journal of Medical Virology
List of unproven and disproven cancer treatments
This is a non-exhaustive list of alternative treatments that have been promoted to treat or prevent cancer in humans but which lack scientific and medical evidence of effectiveness. GcMAF and list of unproven and disproven cancer treatments are health fraud products.

Lymphocyte
A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell (leukocyte) in the immune system of most vertebrates.
Lymphokine
Lymphokines are a subset of cytokines that are produced by a type of immune cell known as a lymphocyte. GcMAF and Lymphokine are cytokines.
Macrophage
Macrophages (abbreviated Mφ, MΦ or MP) are a type of white blood cell of the innate immune system that engulf and digest pathogens, such as cancer cells, microbes, cellular debris, and foreign substances, which do not have proteins that are specific to healthy body cells on their surface.
Macrophage-activating factor
A macrophage-activating factor (MAF) is a lymphokine or other receptor based signal that primes macrophages towards cytotoxicity to tumors, cytokine secretion, or clearance of pathogens. GcMAF and macrophage-activating factor are cytokines.
See GcMAF and Macrophage-activating factor
Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is an executive agency of the Department of Health and Social Care in the United Kingdom which is responsible for ensuring that medicines and medical devices work and are acceptably safe.
See GcMAF and Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency
Neoplasm
A neoplasm is a type of abnormal and excessive growth of tissue.
Physician
A physician, medical practitioner (British English), medical doctor, or simply doctor is a health professional who practices medicine, which is concerned with promoting, maintaining or restoring health through the study, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of disease, injury, and other physical and mental impairments.
Retraction in academic publishing
In academic publishing, a retraction is a mechanism by which a published paper in an academic journal is flagged for being seriously flawed to the extent that their results and conclusions can no longer be relied upon.
See GcMAF and Retraction in academic publishing
Surrogate endpoint
In clinical trials, a surrogate endpoint (or surrogate marker) is a measure of effect of a specific treatment that may correlate with a real clinical endpoint but does not necessarily have a guaranteed relationship.
See GcMAF and Surrogate endpoint
T cell
T cells are one of the important types of white blood cells of the immune system and play a central role in the adaptive immune response.
See GcMAF and T cell
The Washington Post
The Washington Post, locally known as "the Post" and, informally, WaPo or WP, is an American daily newspaper published in Washington, D.C., the national capital.
See GcMAF and The Washington Post
Vitamin D-binding protein
Vitamin D-binding protein (DBP), also/originally known as gc-globulin (group-specific component), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GC gene. GcMAF and Vitamin D-binding protein are Vitamin D.
See GcMAF and Vitamin D-binding protein
