Edit, worded that badly by the way, I didn't specifically mean cancer. But there is hardly any difference between the placebo-effect between conventional methods and alternative methods in general.
Conventional placebos are much cheaper and designed to have no ill effects. Alternative medicine placebos are much more expensive and are designed to be different. One is designed to give you peace of mind at minimal cost and risk. The other is designed to relieve you of as much money as possible.
