How effective is alternate medicine in the cancer prevention?

No trials: I am not aware of any controlled trials that have addressed this issue.

Unproven method: First choice in prevention is by proven methods, healthy stress free good living good diet, good environment avoiding industrial carcinogens ionizing radiation exposure regular exercises avoid smoking excessive drinking, etc when all these things are done then the ' alternate medicine ' to prevent cancer as supplement. Or complement).

Not too much: Although alternative medicine is very popular & has demonstrated benefits for many conditions, it has a very limited role in cancer prevention & in general has no effect. Insofar as its techniques enable someone to reduce known risks -such as smoking or excessive alcohol consumption - it will be beneficial. Don't let alternative med delay ca screening, which can be life-saving.
