I did an extensive medical literature search going back 10 years using the terms "malignan" and "antimalignan" and found nothing. I have never heard of this. Until newer therapies appear in peer-reviewed medical journals, physicians will not use them. Going through the peer-review process is generally considered the safest way to evaluate new medical therapies.
