Abstract
Clinical research on acupuncture in cancer care is a new and challenging field in oncology. The evidence currently available has suggested that acupuncture is a safe and effective therapy to manage cancer and treatment related symptoms, while giving patients the ability to actively participate in their own care plan. This article explains the potential benefits of acupuncture and describes the difficulties in studying its effectiveness.
