No, but RFA can reduce the size of some tumors or completely eliminate them, increasing survivability rates in many instances. In other cases, RFA is used primarily to eliminate painful tumors and improve a patient's quality of life.

I do not believe that the term "cure" should be used in association with cancer because we do not know its cause. Even with so-called "cures" (usually defined as five years without symptoms), utilizing conventional therapies, cancer often returns, even 10 or 15 years later. This can happen with cesium as well. What is possible, however, is to destroy cancerous cells and stop its progress.

Liquid zeolite is not approved as a drug, and so no claim can be made that it cures, treats, or prevents cancer or any other disease. It would be illegal to do so as well as irresponsible on the basis of the small studies that have been done to date. What we can say is that zeolite has a unique mechanism of action against cancer cells. Theoretically, it has the rare ability to take in a tremendous amount of positively charged toxins, indirectly neutralizing their effect in causing cancer.

It is not yet known whether Gleevec (STI571) will cure any form of cancer. It will take many years to answer that question. Top

Alternative medicine includes such non-traditional treatments as herbs, dietary supplements, and acupuncture. The way herbal treatments work and their long-term side effects usually are not known.

No. Some people with cancer, HIV/AIDS, and other diseases claim to experience relief from pain and other symptoms that they attribute to marijuana use. However, scientific research has not yet confirmed these benefits and more research on this topic is being done. What is known is that smoking marijuana can cause lung damage. No. Smoking can actually increase feelings of stress and nervousness.

RFA has been most often used to treat liver tumors. Other treatments show promise but do not yet have studies proving long-term results.

Cure of cancer depends upon stage at presentation as well as surgical technique and response to adjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and/or radiation) as indicated. Your surgeons are trained in specialized techniques to provide the best chance of cancer cure and work closely with medical and radiation oncologists to tailor therapy to the individual patient based upon cancer staging and tumor characteristics.

We do not claim to have a cure for cancer, however we do have clients who have recovered from very difficult cancer situations. The cancer patient's attitude and will-to-live is as much a part of the healing process as the remedies and therapies they select.

I don't believe any one thing is a 'cure'. A multi-faceted approach tuned to the needs of the patient is needed. We aren't machines you know. We are very complex organic/spiritual/mental human systems.

Some positive evidence comes from animal studies. More work must be done to confirm and extend these findings in both animals and humans.

While there is still no known cure for breast cancer, there are several treatment options. Methods of treatment include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy.

Probably not a cure. It is quite likely that we will make some further advances in some cancers. The biggest changes in cancer may come from prevention or from other directions, such as treatments or vaccines to prevent spread after the primary cancer has been removed. Obviously nobody knows what is going to happen, but a single, sudden breakthrough that produces a universal miracle cure is very unlikely.

RFP is an acronym for Request for Proposal. A Request For Applications (RFA) is also used by funding agencies to request applications for specific grant projects. An RFP is put out by organizations awarding funds, usually to announce that the funds have become available for programs.

There are tantalizing hints that diet can play a role in cancer treatment. A small Japanese study published in 1998, for instance, found that breast cancer was about half as likely to recur or metastasize in women who drank four or more cups of green tea a day. Nevertheless, there's no solid evidence yet that any particular food or diet can cure cancer.

There have been about 6,000 overall cases over the last eight years Haelan Products has been in business. The product is sold as a nutritional product without medical claims so as such, we cannot advertise except for its nutritional benefits. Only drugs can make curative claims.

Cancer is just like any other disease. It is caused by a faulty diet over a very long period of time (sometimes decades). The only difference between cancer and other less serious diseases is that with cancer the illnesses has ascended to a higher level of illness (because faulty diet has lasted a longer time). Seven stages of illness. And the recovery will naturally take a longer period of time.

This is not a claim that we can make and it would be irresponsible of us to do so. Cancer is a serious illness and while the ingredients in C-Caps have shown very promising results in the treatment of cancer, we recommend that they be used as supportive therapy in the overall cancer treatment program of your pet.

I have heard people say that acupuncture cured their cancer. While I am happy for them and respect their perspective, I am not sure that it was acupuncture alone that brought such healing. Was a misdiagnosis involved or did somehow the body and mind fight back without the help of modern medicine? Oriental medicine believes that if a physical change has already occurred, it can be reversed by adjusting the flow of Ki (Qi).
