This complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) information summary provides an overview of the use of Cancell/Entelev as a treatment for cancer. The discussion in the summary is limited to Cancell/Entelev as it was originally conceived; the "vibrationally tuned" distilled water also distributed under the name Cancell will not be discussed.

This summary contains the following key information:

• Cancell/Entelev has been promoted by its manufacturers as an effective therapy for cancer and a number of other diseases.



• Cancell/Entelev is a mixture of common chemicals, none of which is known to be effective in treating any type of cancer.



• No animal study or human study of Cancell/Entelev has been published in a peer-reviewed, scientific journal to show that it is safe or effective in treating cancer.



• Cancell/Entelev is not approved for use in the United States.

Many of the medical and scientific terms used in the summary are hypertext linked (at first use in each section) to the Cancer.gov Dictionary, which is oriented toward nonexperts. When a linked term is clicked, a definition will appear in a separate window. All linked terms and their corresponding definitions will appear in a glossary in the printable version of the summary.

Reference citations in some PDQ CAM information summaries may include links to external Web sites that are operated by individuals or organizations for the purpose of marketing or advocating the use of specific treatments or products. These reference citations are included for informational purposes only. Their inclusion should not be viewed as an endorsement of the content of the Web sites, or of any treatment or product, by the PDQ Cancer CAM Editorial Board or the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
