Studies have further shown to have an enormous impact in declining certain stages of metastasis and a lesser impact on other stages (Glinsky and Raz). Although it appears MCP does not directly get rid of cancer, it does have an impact on developed cancer. Modified citrus pectin stops the spread of cancer to other organs and improves the symptoms associated with the disease. Even though significant studies do not show getting rid of cancer completely, studies show it is possible.
