[Iscucin--mistletoe preparations for the pre- and postoperative treatment of malignancies. Documentation No. 21].
Iscucin-Viscum preparations contain mistletoe from eight different host-trees and are produced according to a particular 'rhythmic' procedure and additionally 'potentialized'. Sterilization should be achieved by the addition of oligodynamic silver. The indications given are: precancerous conditions, postoperative tumour prevention, operable tumours, and inoperable tumours. ⋯ No preclinical or clinical investigations are available. However, the performance of controlled clinical studies is hardly possible, since the supportive measures considered to be essential cannot be applied according to a specific schedule. Iscucin is not registered in Switzerland at the IKS.
