Dr. House is full of truisms and one pops up here. Doctors are also seriously concerned about the potential dangers of this treatment; however, they have determined that against the risks of cancer it's worth it.

No medicine is risk-free. Medicine replaces an active condition with a chance for a less severe condition. Cold sores (if they even present as a side effect) have a much better prognosis than cancer.
