Abstract
Acupuncture, as a promising complementary therapy for cancer patients, offers personalized symptom management and improved quality of life alongside conventional treatments. With its proven efficacy in alleviating chemotherapy-induced side effects such as nausea, fatigue, and pain, acupuncture stands as a holistic approach to cancer care. Tailored to individual needs and boasting a favorable safety profile, acupuncture addresses both physical symptoms and psychological distress, promoting resilience and quality of life. By integrating specific acupuncture points into treatment protocols, practitioners can provide targeted relief and support for patients, fostering holistic healing and emotional well-being amidst the challenges of cancer treatment.
