Cloves smell good: But to me, the anti-cancer therapies smell foul. Eugnol may have some effect against colon cancer cell lines, it is a phenol-like compound, and i cannot see a radio=protectctant or sensitizing property. I know of no good use other than advanced h&n neck cancers do smell bad, and this might help that.

No effect known.: Eugenol is a chemical responsible for the aroma of cloves. It has many uses, including perfumery, flavoring, and in formulating insect attractants. It even kills human colon cancer cell lines in vitro. But it does not appear to have an effect on radiotherapy, let alone radiotherapy in head and neck squamous cell cancer. This is treated with radiotherapy and surgery and/or chemotherapy.
