Who We Are


The A.P. John Institute for Cancer Research is a non-profit organization located in Greenwich, Connecticut. Angelo P. John, Sr., a cancer scientist specializing in molecular biology has invested more than forty-five years researching cancer treatment and prevention, founded the Institute in 1978. Our cancer treatment offers healthy opportunities for cancer sufferers. For more information, click on About Us.

What We Do


The A.P. John Institute for Cancer Research functions as a conduit between you and the world of complex, confusing scientific data and studies available today. Our years of cancer research coupled with the collaboration of other researchers and our access to all of the latest scientific studies and medical information deemed necessary for understanding the whole picture in cancer prevention and treatment allow us to present this jargon in a format which is easy to comprehend and, thus, more effective in the prevention or treatment of cancer.

Cancer Prevention and Treatment: Are There Differences?


This is the place to start! There is a DISTINCT difference between cancer prevention and treatment. Things that are beneficial to cancer prevention may actually fuel the growth of cancer. A.P. John was ahead of his time when he documented this theory in his book, DIATIS: Anti-Cancer Nutrients in Cancer Prevention and Cure, published in 1961 by Bridgehead Books, New York.

Cancer Prevention


Prevention information is for someone who HAS NOT been diagnosed with cancer! Back in 1961 John wrote in his book, DIATIS: Anti-Cancer Nutrients in Cancer Prevention and Cure, about Anti-Cancer Nutrients and supporting the body's effort to defend itself against cancer. Today, John's theory, which he subsequently termed the Cancer Detox System, centers on the body's first line of defense against cancer. Currently, what the Cancer Detox System is and how it functions is taught at medical universities including Cornell and Emory. You can read more about our methods of cancer treatment by Clicking on PREVENTION INFORMATION, then Cancer Detox System.

Cancer Treatment Information


This section speaks directly to those who HAVE BEEN diagnosed with cancer. Comprehensive and effective TREATMENT information is imperative at this point! Make no mistake; the A.P. John Institute for Cancer Research has never been opposed to surgery for cancer when necessary. We support the administration of chemotherapy and radiation to patients in cases where they are appropriate. However, we intend to provide increased hope for recovery by offering Controlled Amino Acid Therapy (or CAAT), a biological cancer protocol used in the treatment of cancer. CAAT falls within the four main classifications of cancer treatment: conventional treatments, integrative treatment of cancer, complementary therapies and alternative medicine. This website offers the most up-to-date research and treatment information for cancers such as, but not limited to, Lung cancer, Breast cancer, Prostate cancer, Liver cancer, Colon cancer, Ovarian cancer, etc. You can learn more by either clicking on Treatmentat the top of the page, or by clicking on The Yellow Path to Promise below.
