Some tissues such as skin, the vas deferens , and large organs including the liver can regrow quite readily, while others have been thought to have little or no capacity for regeneration following an injury.
Most alternative cancer treatments have not been tested in proper clinical trials. Among studies that have been published, the quality is often poor. A 2006 review of 196 clinical trials that studied unconventional cancer treatments found a lack of early-phase testing, little rationale for dosing regimens, and poor statistical analyses. [11]

In other cases, the proposed treatment for cancer is already ...
