A member asked:

Can doctors induce coma to stop advanced cervical cancer?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Dr Ali and 2 doctors agreed

Coma Therapy : Coma therapy is used in the United States to alleviate pain and suffering in advanced cancer patients and others with severe, debilitating diseases. It does not halt the advance of the cancer, unfortunately.
