A word of caution

It is understandable that you might want to try anything if you think it might help treat or cure your cancer. Only you can decide whether to use a complementary cancer therapy such as Biobran.

You could harm your health if you stop your cancer treatment for an unproven treatment.

Many websites might promote Biobran as a cure for cancer. But no reputable scientific cancer organisations support any of these claims.
