Research into acupuncture for cancer

There is no evidence to show that acupuncture can help treat or cure cancer. But it can help relieve some cancer symptoms and side effects from treatment.

Research into acupuncture for cancer focuses on treating :

chemotherapy related sickness

tiredness

pain

anxiety and stress

depression and mood changes

quality of life

hot flushes

Most studies show that acupuncture is better than no treatment at all. And that it is as good as, or better than, standard treatment for these symptoms and side effects.
