Overall Level of Evidence for Cancell/Cantron/Protocel
To assist readers in evaluating the results of human studies of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)
treatments for cancer, the strength of the evidence (i.e., the levels of
evidence) associated with each type of treatment is provided whenever
possible. To qualify for a level of evidence analysis, a study must:
- Be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
- Report on a therapeutic outcome or outcomes, such as tumor response, improvement in survival, or measured improvement in quality of life.
- Describe clinical findings in sufficient detail that a meaningful evaluation can be made.
No levels of evidence analysis could be performed for Cancell/Cantron/Protocel because no study of its use in humans has been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. For additional information about levels of evidence analysis, refer to Levels of Evidence for Human Studies of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
