Complementary oncological care is a patient-centered approach that complements traditional cancer treatments by addressing various aspects of a patient's health. It includes nutritional support, mind-body techniques, acupuncture, massage therapy, herbal remedies, exercise, counseling, and alternative healing practices. Integration into a patient's treatment plan, in collaboration with their healthcare team, is essential to ensure it enhances overall well-being while working alongside conventional treatments.

While these complementary therapies can offer many benefits, they are not intended to replace standard cancer treatments but rather to enhance the overall quality of life for cancer patients and help manage side effects. Every patient's situation is unique, and treatment decisions should be made with careful consideration of individual needs and medical advice.
