Homeopathy should in future be the first option in cancer treatment. In this study of 151 cases 80% opted for homeopathic treatment because of either

  • relapse after completion of standard (allopathic) treatment,

  • no response to standard treatment.

15% were diagnosed as advanced/terminally ill, 3% could not afford allopathic treatment, 2% opted for homeopathic treatment as first-line treatment.

Cases considered advanced or terminal responded well in terms of morbidity and mortality rate. Thus if patients choose homeopathy as the first option after diagnosis the response percentage will definitely increase.

  • had undergone surgery for resection of primary tumour. These were selected to prevent local or metastatic recurrence,
