Use of Complementary Medicine as an Adjunct in Cancer Treatment

The use of complementary medicine as an adjunct in cancer treatment can help alleviate symptoms and side effects of conventional therapies. Studies have shown that various complementary therapies, such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and homeopathy, are effective and safe as additional treatments for cancer patients. For instance, acupuncture can be used to manage post-chemotherapy and post-surgery nausea and vomiting, pain, hot flashes from iatrogenic menopause, and xerostomia. Herbal medicines like Panax ginseng and Guarana have also been proven to help reduce fatigue, while lavender essential oil can be used to relieve anxiety.

The integration of evidence-based complementary medicine has been implemented in several cancer networks in Italy, particularly in the Tuscany region. Studies in several hospitals have shown that a significant percentage of cancer patients use complementary medicine, with many reporting perceived benefits from these therapies. The use of complementary medicine also extends to the pediatric field, where children with cancer use these therapies to mitigate the side effects of conventional treatments.
