What are alternative treatments for small cell lung cancer?
Many cancer patients have tried using shark cartilage to treat their disease. Shark cartilage is thought to interfere with the tumor’s blood supply. A clinical trial using this treatment in lung cancer patients is ongoing. Information on this and other alternative treatments is available on the Internet from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Patients who decide to try complementary and alternative therapies should tell their doctor. Some of these therapies may interfere with conventional treatment. Source: The Gale Group.
