I am unsure about the success rate of alternative therapy but there are several points on this website http://www.cancure.org/AlternativeTherapy.htm which I find to be rather useful.

In case you have not heard about alternative therapy, do read the following.
Alternative Therapy, as the name suggests, refers to therapy alternative to the kind you find in a conventional hospital. A typical conventional cancer treatment would include surgery, chemotherapy (the use of drugs), and radiation. However, alternative therapy includes nutritional supplements such as enzymes, diet, detoxification and it also suggests a change in lifestyle such as stress control, prevention and biofeedback.

At cancure.org, they do not suggest that alternative therapy is better but encourages you to choose on your own, depending on the nature of the cancer. They say that alternative doctors see tumour as merely a symptom of the cancer and are more interested in the cause of the cancer.

Alternative therapy practitioners believe in self healing, or a natural way of healing. They feel that chemotherapy and radiation technologies impact the immune system and can actually cause cancer if patients do not detoxify and rebuild their immune system after going through these practices.

Some of the alternative therapies that are used include:
• Nutrition – to boost the immune system, to increase natural mechanisms for eliminating the tumour, and to prevent reoccurrences. Typically this includes nutritional supplements, intravenous protocols (such as high doses of vitamin C, anti-oxidants, and immune support nutrients), and diet (such as frequent raw vegetable juices, whole grains, legumes and elimination of foods which feed cancer and weaken the immune system).
• Enzymes – to facilitate the breakdown of the protective coating around cancer cells and to support healthy metabolic processes.
• Oxygenation – to bring vital energy to the cells, reverse tumour growth and facilitate the elimination of pathogens (fungi, bacteria and viruses) which may be weakening the immune system. This may take the form of ozone therapy, deep breathing exercises and/or oxygenation of the blood directly through intravenous protocols.
• Detoxification – to eliminate substances which may be burdening the immune system, compromising metabolic processes and blocking energy flow (e.g. heavy metals, pesticides, environmental toxins, and metabolic wastes). This may take the form of herbal and nutritional products that open up the elimination channels (liver, kidney, colon, and urinary system), colonics, detoxification diets, and IV chelation protocols.
• Emotional Healing – to eliminate toxic emotions and memories somatized in the body. This may take the form of counselling, emotional release therapies, deep breathing, reiki, homeopathy, or bodywork.
• Tumour Targeting – to aggressively reduce the tumour size. This may take the form of cancer vaccines, hyperthermia, or chemotherapy alternatives such as ukrain, amygdalin, mistletoe, and carnivora.
• Life Style Change and Stress Control – to assist the individual in making the necessary changes in their life structure and belief system to minimize stress.
• Spiritual Connection – to re-connect the individual with their purpose for being alive and to strengthen their will to live. This may take the form of prayer, meditation, or spiritual counselling.
