Each therapy below links to a source-grounded, continually-updated summary: built from PubMed studies and guidelines, every statement cited, and human-reviewed. The same engine behind our agent and cancer-type pages now keeps these current as the evidence changes.
Breathing pressurized oxygen, studied as an adjunct in cancer care.
See what the studies say →High-dose intravenous vitamin C, studied as an adjunct in cancer care.
See what the studies say →Applying heat to tissue, studied alongside radiation and chemotherapy.
See what the studies say →Cold-based approaches — tumor cryoablation and oral cryotherapy for mucositis — studied in cancer.
See what the studies say →Light-activated compounds studied in certain cancers.
See what the studies say →Ultrasound-activated sensitizers, an experimental approach studied in cancer.
See what the studies say →Low-intensity alternating electric fields, approved in glioblastoma and studied elsewhere.
See what the studies say →Low-level light therapy, studied mainly for treatment-related oral mucositis.
See what the studies say →Fasting and fasting-mimicking approaches studied alongside cancer treatment.
See what the studies say →Mistletoe (Viscum album) extracts studied as a complementary therapy.
See what the studies say →A very-low-carbohydrate, high-fat pattern studied as a metabolic adjunct in cancer.
See what the studies say →Acupuncture studied mainly for cancer-related symptoms.
See what the studies say →Physical activity studied in cancer prevention, treatment tolerance, and survivorship.
See what the studies say →Mindfulness, CBT, and related programs studied for cancer-related symptoms and quality of life.
See what the studies say →Ozone therapy, a controversial approach with sparse clinical evidence in cancer.
See what the studies say →Alternative = used instead of standard care (not recommended). Complementary = used alongside standard care, usually for symptom support. Integrative = evidence-informed combinations coordinated with your oncology team. Most items here are studied as complementary or integrative, not replacements for treatment.
Each therapy's page is assembled from PubMed studies and guidelines, every statement cited, then human-reviewed before publishing. This is the same source-grounded process described on our How we review page. They are kept current as new studies appear and are corrected when a cited study is retracted.
It varies by therapy and by what's being measured. Some have guideline-backed supportive-care uses (e.g., photobiomodulation for oral mucositis; exercise and mind–body programs for fatigue and quality of life); others are experimental or controversial. Each page reports what its studies actually show.
No page here presents a therapy as a cure, or as something that treats or prevents the disease. We report what published studies describe; decisions belong to you and your care team.
