ℹ️ About This Episode

Testimonials are personal accounts of patients who believe they were helped by a particular treatment, but they may lack a clear understanding of their condition or the factors that influenced their outcome. Case reports, on the other hand, provide detailed information about a patient's diagnosis, treatment, and outcome, and are published in medical journals after being reviewed by editors. Case reports focus on unusual outcomes that go beyond what is expected, such as tumor shrinkage or prolonged survival. In this conversation, Dr. Linda L. Isaacs discusses the importance of case reports and testimonials in evaluating alternative cancer treatments.
