A member asked:
Are there any alternative treatments for lung cancer?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No proven benefit: The big 3 are surgery, chemotherapy & radiation. Alternative options in trials include photodynamic therapy, cancer vaccines for example. Commonly used alternative treatments such as homeopathy, chinese or indian herbal medicines, mexican meds, shark cartilage, etc do not have any proven benefit. Sometimes, alternative drugs actually interfere with regular meds and can cause problems.

Not really: Nothing clinically proven to treat lung cancer ... But a lot of research in this topic ...
