Abstract
Recently, we have been deeply disturbed by the decision of several families to use alternative therapies exclusively as front-line treatment for their children's cancer, or to use alternative rather than adjuvant therapy after radical surgery. We report here on two patients, in both of whom we documented tumor growth after the use of alternative therapies.Keywords
