Galangal  has been used effectively in the Ayurvedic system for thousands of years. It is also known as Rasna.  The following are some western medicine studies confirming the use of galangal for those with cancer. 

" Alpinia galanga a member of the ginger family, previous studies have demonstrated an anticancer effect of the Alpinia galanga. Polyphenols and flavonoids components were determined. Results indicated Alpinia galanga contained high content of total phenol (34.21 ± 17.45 mg/g) and flavonoids (28.79 ± 12.23 mg/g). Measurement of potential cytotoxicity activity of ethanol extract of Alpinia galanga against the liver carcinoma cell line (HEPG-2H), breast carcinoma cell line (MCF-7) and blood carcinoma cell line (HCT) were tested by SRB assay. Data was recorded (IC50) on liver (HEPG-2H) cells, when the concentration was 117 µg/ml. While the effective concentration on breast (MCF-7) cells was 64 µg/ml on the same trend, in blood (HCT) cells effective concentration was to 85 µg/ml. Conclusively, the effective concentration ranged from 64 to 117 µg/ml."  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344324477_THEORETICAL_STUDY_ANTIOXIDANT_ACTIVITY_AND_ANTI-_CANCER_STUDIES_OF_GALANGAL_ALPINIA_GALANGAL


"May protect against certain cancers
Galangal root may help protect your body against certain types of cancer. Test-tube studies suggest that the active compound in galangal root, known as galangin, may kill cancer cells or prevent them from spreading 
More specifically, one study highlighted the spice’s ability to kill two strains of human colon cancer cells. Other studies suggest it may fight breast, bile duct, skin, and liver cancer cells" .  https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/galangal-root#benefits


We have demonstrated, using cell culture model, anti-proliferative effect of aqueous extract of Alpinia galangal on human gastric tumor (AGS) and L929 cell lines. This effect was prominent in high concentrations.   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4171825/
