About this Research Topic
Integrative oncology treatment for cancer patients is a new and growing cancer treatment movement. According to the findings of a substantial amount of research, some complementary and alternative treatments help with various symptoms experienced by cancer patients during conventional treatment, as well as for rehabilitation. Managing cancer patients' quality of life during and after treatment is also an important aspect of integrative oncology therapies. Maintaining a high quality of life is critical because it affects cancer survival rates. Acupuncture, moxibustion, tuina therapy, traditional herbal medicine, and dietary therapy/nutritional supplements are examples of integrative oncology treatments.
Through the publication of this Research Topic, the problems we would like to focus on are:
- Treating side effects from conventional cancer treatments using integrative oncology therapies.
- Assessing and improving quality of life of cancer patients through integrative oncology therapies.
- Evaluating herb-drug interactions.
Key topics we would like to include in this collection are:
- Integrative oncology evaluation of the side effects of conventional cancer treatments.
- Improving patient recovery after cancer treatment.
- Models for incorporating integrative oncology treatment into clinical practice.
- Pertinent laboratory studies of molecular mechanisms and biology underlying integrative oncology treatments.
- Possible interactions between cancer chemotherapy drugs and commonly used herbs.
