Springer Acupuncture and Moxibustion for Cancer - CAM Book 3

Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide, with rising incidence rates posing significant challenges to patients and survivors. While conventional treatments are standard, many individuals face difficult side effects. This volume, part of the Evidence-based Anticancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine series, addresses the growing need for scientific validation in the field of CAM. Historically, clinical data has suggested that certain complementary and alternative medicines possess anticancer abilities. However, a lack of scientific evidence has led some clinicians and scientists to question the validity of these methods. This book works to narrow that knowledge gap by exploring the scientific and evidence-based foundations of acupuncture and moxibustion within the anticancer field. It serves as a resource for those looking to understand the scientific basis of these therapies in a clinical context.
