Is it true: Cancer-Clinic Suppression Claims?

Partially True70% confidence

Partly — it's more complicated than the claim suggests.

Regulators have pursued alternative cancer clinics, sometimes in prolonged and heavy-handed ways, but there is no evidence that effective cancer cures are being suppressed. Treatments held up as suppressed, such as antineoplastons and Laetrile, showed no proven benefit when reviewed or tested. Major cancer bodies, including the National Cancer Institute and the WHO, state that no evidence supports suppressed cures.
