Is chemotherapy really all that effective in treating cancer? - all chemotherapy
I have some of the recent excavations of the online statistics on the absolute efficacy of chemotherapy and found a number of sites which are heavily critical of the chemotherapy. Often, a book by Ralph Moss, entitled "Questioning Chemotherapy cited" would have shown that chemotherapy does not really benefit from long-term survival for most cancers. Although I am skeptical about alternative therapies to treat cancer of the engine, I also wonder if the chemotherapy is really that much value, or if it only used by the medical profession, because there is still nothing is before coming to replace him.

All Chemotherapy Is Chemotherapy Really All That Effective In Treating Cancer?

Based on a superficial review of thinking of the posters here, the answers are more or less evenly between the "broken No" and "Yes", but many of them are not qualified and Yes.
As someone who has seen my parents die of cancer, and shared a lot of psychological pain of chemo, my wife suffered from breast cancer, as more than seven years, I have almost no answers.
I speak (as someone with a medical background, technical, non-MD), and general education in the sciences, including physiology and biology. Apart from my job day, I am a writer of science independent. When my wife underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy, to me a small library with literature on the principal and so-called alternative treatments for cancer, and I am perfectly well versed in both.
In my humble opinion, but well informed, thought chemotherapy alone has a value of two options: 1) A means of reducing the size of large tumors before surgery (one of the posters I mentioned a son,East), and 2) as the primary treatment for a small number of cancers where it is very effective - in childhood lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and testicular cancer - I remember Lance Armstrong? - Be especially vulnerable to attacks by the chemotherapy, to name just a few that I can from the top of my head remember name.
What is that commonly referred to as "epithelial" cancers - namely, cancers of epithelial tissues such as breast cancer, liver cancer, lung and pancreatic cancer - the overwhelming evidence of long-term survival obtained with chemotherapeutic agents is negative.
Many of the posters here - and many oncologists, sad to say - not yet heard of Ulrich Abel. Abel was a German physician and a statistician, a thorough review of the long-term survival rates for all cancers treated with chemotherapy has made.
You can find the Abel study discussed on the following link:

It is also a choice of appointment to this link, in the case ofReaders and posters here have no time to examine thoroughly, is the following:
QUOTE:
Abel has also concluded, after polling hundreds of cancer doctors, "the personal opinion of many oncologists seems in stark contrast to the messages for the public to be." Abel cited studies that showed that many oncologists would not take chemotherapy if they had cancer. "Survival (The Cancer Chronicles, December 1990.)" Even though toxic drugs often an answer, a partial or complete reduction of tumor effects is the reduction of the waiting period is not extended, "Abel found. Own defense," Sometimes, in the Indeed, the cancer returns more aggressively than before, because chemotherapy promotes the growth of resistant cell lines. In addition, chemotherapy has severely damaged the immune system and often, the kidneys and liver.
Endquote
I can not agree with the poster who dismissed Ralph Moss. Book Moss, chemotherapy will be considered, open your eyes as much more, well documented boOK, the crab industry. The argument that Moss is not a doctor largely an illusion. In fact, it is an advantage that does not see a doctor, as well as the objectivity that many doctors - especially of oncologists - not yet seen.
One thing that struck me during the treatment, my wife has suffered what an oncologist told us of a double-blind, the alleged involvement of high chemotherapy. The study showed that chemotherapy offers the five-year survival rate of patients with recurrent breast cancer (and my wife was in this class) for almost 30%. No offense, the good doctor, but it is a failure rate of 70%!. If you are only 30 percent correct on my final exam in the university setting, you really happened, only in the classroom?
Effective treatment? No less.
