Short answer: No.
Long answer: There are no double blind published studies saying it can. You can probably find websites that say tomatoes can fix cancer- however when you look for proof it is always anecdotal and not reproducible.
However, tomatoes-- as well as cats, people, rats, carrots... (anything) may have subclinical levels of some substance that can theoretically do it in a context that would be impossible to replicate just by eating tomatoes. For example, the substance may require a dosage that is equivalent to eating 50 tomatoes and it may need to be injected directly into the tumor.
If you're seeking medical advice, I would suggest doing as your oncologist says-- if you do not trust your oncologist, you need to find one you do trust. They are the only practitioners that have a chance of knowing the best treatments available... and they can tell you just how the medications work and what side effects to expect. If tomatoes could cure cancer-- doctors would prescribe them. Before you decide to take advice from someone that isn't a licensed practitioner, be sure to check out whatstheharm.net and see what happens when people in the past have tried similar treatments.
