acupuncture therapy for lung cancer chemotherapy side effects
In September of 2007, the American College of Chest Physicians published a list of well-researched guidelines recommending acupuncture as an effective treatment for symptoms that plague lung cancer patients, including pain, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and neuropathy resulting from chemotherapy.
The groundbreaking recommendation is the first official nod to acupuncture as a viable complimentary strategy in the treatment of lung cancer — the deadliest form of cancer in the United States. The guidelines are endorsed by a varied and widely respected assemblage of medical professionals and organizations, including the World Association of Bronchology, the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group, and the Oncology Nurses Society.
