Do experimental cancer treatments ever work? I heep hearing

>dailymail
Are you actually retarded

I've heard of one experimental treatment success story where they trained a person's immune system to attack cancer cells. The reaction was immediate and so severe that they almost died of fever as their body dissolved and ate the tumor protruding from their skull. Within 48 hours the protrusion had shrank, and the tumor was gone.

OP is a faggot

Starvation, or fasting, counts as an experimental treatment and has been shown to produce results. I believe it has mostly been tested as combined with chemo though, the idea being that if we expose cancer cells to additional stress, in the form of lack of nutrients, sugar and fat, they can't handle it. While it really does seem to get the desired effect, it's quite difficult to have doctors push a non-profit idea.

>starve cancer patients
You are worse than Hitler.

tumour shrinkage =/= cure. How long did the person live for afterwards?

Complete remission. I hope you get cancer and then follow your own advice.

>haven't stated if he passed the 5 year mark
And thanks, I was only trying to be helpful. It may sound defeatist but it's good advice. Enjoy your pointless chemo I guess.

There are several cases like this using multiple methods and techniques that all revolve around training ones immune system to kill cancer cells. The general idea is being called immunotherapy. Who knows, maybe in 50 years cancer may just be another disease we all get vaccinated for.

That's the problem with cancer. There isn't a clear dividing line between where the patient ends and the cancer begins. You basically have to try to get as close as possible to killing the patient without really killing them and hope the cancer was killed in the process.

JUST LIKE BLOOD LETTING!

It isn't all scams. You just have to go to a reputable hospitable. My dad went to MD Anderson for experimental treatments for his cancer and got rid of his.

the problem facing any alternative cancer treatment is that it's difficult to distinguish spontaneous remission and real treatment efficacy

But we have computers now, that means we're in the future and science has been solved already.

What was the cancer?
What was the stage when he went?
How long since he had the treatment?

>>9117716

Sarcoma.
Don't know. They don't use the stage system there. It was in his gut, on the pancreas, and stomach. The treatment caused it to basically slide off his organs. He had to get surgury a couple years after as there is low grade studf that could go aggressive at any time.

Well I'm happy for your dad, I hope he lives many years.
