Canerr treatment and prevention research needs to manage the
cancer symptoms and cope with their side-effects of treatment.
there are many approaches other than treatment like complementary
health approaches used to cancer prevention, symptoms management
and treat cancer. these approaches as evidence-based research
realted to effectiveness, concern on patient safety. refer to using
complementary health treatment patients should talk with their
health care providers to inlcude complementary therapy for the
management of their symptoms along with cancer treatment.
complemtanry approaches outside mainstream medicine it inlcude
herbal supplements, dietary supplements, acupuncture and
medication, yoga, etc. As an additional to the treatment plan,
complementary approaches help the patient to cope with disease
prevention that symptoms management that improves their quality
life as per scientific research.
In 2007 national health interview survey included a comprehensive
survey for the use of complementary approaches by Americans. There
was more general wellness for cancer patients than those who use
complementary approaches more than others. these approaches vary
for age, sex, ethnicity, and type, and location of cancer. unproven
products and services should not be used for complementary
approaches that interfere with cancer treatment and cause
side-effects. example: suing st, john wort products sometimes
interfere with cancer drugs action that makes it less effective.
the acupuncturist should use sterile clean needles procedure for
healing cancer because chemotherapy and radiation therapy weaken
the body's immune system for cancer patients. so using
complementary approaches we need health care provider consultation
to make it benefit as well as avoid risk. In the 2012 clinical
trial shown taking multivitamin supplements to reduce the cancer
risk in older men. physician health study II tested many older men
with vitamin and menirals for cancer treatment.but in some study
shown high use of vitamin C or E increase the risk of hemorrhagic
stroke. so careful treatment options for prevention and treatment
for cancer make the patient benefit from cancer prevention and
symptom management.
