The Burzynski Clinic is a clinic offering an unproven cancer treatment, which has been characterized as harmful quackery. It was founded in 1976 and is located in Houston, Texas, in the United States. It offers a form of chemotherapy called "antineoplaston therapy" devised by the clinic's founder Stanislaw Burzynski in the 1970s. Antineoplaston is Burzynski's term for a group of urine-derived peptides, peptide derivatives, and mixtures. There is no accepted scientific evidence of benefit from antineoplaston combinations for various diseases. The clinic has been the focus of criticism primarily due to the way its antineoplaston therapy is promoted, the costs for people with cancer participating in trials of antineoplastons and problems with the way these trials are run. Legal cases have been brought as a result of the sale of the therapy without regulatory approval. Burzynski is also the president and founder of a pharmaceutical company, the Burzynski Research Institute, which manufacturers his antineoplaston drugs. Stanislaw Burzynski Stanislaw Rajmund Burzynski was born in 1943. In 1967, Burzynski graduated from the Medical Academy in Lublin, Poland. In 1968, he received another degree. Burzynski claims this degree was a Ph.D. in biochemistry, but cancer researcher Saul Green found evidence indicating he received a D.Msc (Doctor of Medical Science) after a one year project and passing a test. Burzynski moved to the United States in 1970, working at Baylor College of Medicine until 1977, when he established the Burzynski Research Laboratory where he administered antineoplaston therapy, initially to 21 patients but then more widely as "experimental" treatment. This opened him up to "charges of unethical conduct and to the suspicion he had become a merchant of false hope", which led to several instances of media controversy. Burzynski incorporated his pharmaceutical company, the Burzynski Research Institute in 1984. Reviewers of his scientific papers have disputed the design of the trials and scientific validity of the published results. In February 2017, following lengthy hearings the Texas Medical Board recommended Burzynski's medical license be revoked, with the revocation suspended, and a fine of $360,000 for billing irregularities and other violations. Burzynski was married to another medical doctor Barbara Burzynski until her death in 2021. They had three children, including Gregory Burzynski, who is also a medical doctor. Both Gregory and Barbara became board members of the Burzynski Research Institute and worked at the Burzynski Clinic. Antineoplaston therapy Antineoplaston is a name coined by Burzynski for a
