Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions in Cancer Therapy

Abstract

Abstract: Cancer was the most significant reason for mortality worldwide. It accounted for over 10 million deaths worldwide by 2020. Patients experiencing excruciating pain from this malignant disease are worn out of using the conventional allopathic method for recovery; as a result, they opt for the non-medical, otherwise stated non-pharmaceutical approaches as the escape route. This study encloses the development of these non-pharmaceutical interventions in cancer treatment, which include meditation, yoga, music therapy, acupuncture, hypnosis, massage, physical activity/exercise, and stress management to manage psych and physical symptoms. Besides, various natural products procured from the rich aqua life comprising marine fauna and flora are used. We also use multiple terrestrial plants and herbs as the source for many nutraceutical preparations. Due to the lift of these nonconventional methods, the world is using these extracts to treat cancer, whether symptomatic or the root cause of the disease itself.
