Colorectal Cancer

British researchers have developed an experimental colorectal cancer vaccine that is showing promise in clinical trials.

The vaccine was created from antibodies cloned from a patient with advanced colorectal cancer who survived many years longer than expected. When given to 67 colorectal cancer patients (average age 66), the vaccine stimulated immune responses in 70 percent, researchers say.

In general, cancer-related alternative medicine refers to therapies, such as mistletoe or coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ10)*, that may be used instead of conventional treatments. Complementary or integrative medicine, on the other hand, usually means therapies used in conjunction with traditional treatments.

According to the American Cancer Society, there are four main treatment options for Colorectal Cancer. Follow the link below for the details:
