There are many herbs, chemicals, manual procedures, diet plans and exercise schedules that are used as alternative cancer treatment methods for curing cancer. These are not approved by any government agency and their advantages are limited. Some researchers have shown that prove beneficial in providing relief to cancer patients. Earlier, the now used chemotherapeutic treatments for cancers were used first in the form of experimental procedures. Since the decade of 1940, other cancer treatment measures like chemotherapy, adjutant therapy and the very new and modern targeted therapies and radiotherapy have evolved. The surgical techniques used today are even more refined and with the help of combination of these modern methods of cancer treatment only 34% of patients suffering from cancer die within 5 years, a number that was around 90%earlier.
