Efficacy of Alternative and Other Treatments According to GRADE* Ranking:

Larch (Larix Occidentalis) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]:

Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present.

Recommendation: No recommendation (Available evidence does not support claims that Larch helps to treat metastases to the liver)

Grade of Evidence: low quality of evidence
