Under the rules of science (and federal law), proponents who make health claims bear the burden of proof. It is their responsibility to conduct suitable studies and report them in sufficient detail to permit evaluation and confirmation by others. The ACS evaluates cancer methods by asking three questions: 1) Has the method been objectively demonstrated in the peer-reviewed scientific literature to be effective? 2) Has the method shown potential for benefit that clearly exceeds the potential for harm? 3) Have objective studies been correctly conducted under appropriate peer review to answer these questions?
