The 35 reports of controlled studies (11 historic studies, 12 retrospective studies, 10 prospective studies, 2 randomised studies) show an increase of survival rate respectively of median or average survival time when mistletoe therapy is applied. The quality of the studies is often not satisfactory. Nevertheless 9 of 35 controlled studies show solidity as well as statistically significant results.
