Drugs which purifies the reproductive fluids (shukra shodhanagana drugs) [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 4/12] are used for the treatment of cancer, since vitiation of reproductive fluid (shukra dushti) happens as a result of intake of hybridized foods. The hybrid grains can cause vitiation of reproductive fluid [[shukra]].

Sepia Officinalis (samudraphena) and Myrica Nagi (katphala) is generally used for cancer treatment. When there is [[vata]] and blood ([[rakta]]) involvement, the drug of choice is Asteracantha Longifolia (ikshuraka). If there is predominance of [[pitta]], Andropogon Muricatus  (ushira) is used. Bergenia Ligulata (pashanabeda) is used when hard lumps are present. The drug is selected based on the [[dosha]] and [[dushya]] involvement. The [[dushya]]s involved can be judged based on the vitiation of channels of transportation and transformation (srotodushti) causes, symptoms and the organ involved. For e.g.in lung cancer, involvement of blood ([[rakta]]) can be considered since lungs (phuphusa) is originated from blood ([[rakta]]). For particular [[dushya]]s involved, its specific dhatupachaka medicines should be used. The treatment for chorinic fever (vishama jwara) can be adopted here. The 5 decoctions mentioned for the treatment of five types of vishama jwara can also be used as specific treatments for [[doshas]], if it resides in particular [[dhatus]].  If rasadushti happens, rasa pachaka medicines can be used. This concept can be applied while treating kushtha, prameha etc.
