one of the things of yoga is purification of the body, by doing things like cleansing techniques and fasting you can rid the body of toxins, and that is what cancer is, a toxin.
do a search on it, "six purification techniques of yoga" Hatha Yoga - Asana, Pranayama, Mudra, Bandha, Cleansing Process (Shatkarmas)

I have a student who claims that headstand is particularly beneficial for prostrate problems. Another claims shoulderstand works for him. The first person has cancer of the prostate, the other just general prostate problems.
