Alternative Mesothelioma Treatment
Alternative mesothelioma treatment gives patients additional ways to manage their health outside of traditional therapies. Alternative treatments may reduce mesothelioma symptoms, improve overall health, and help patients have a higher quality of life. That said, alternative treatments cannot be substituted for standard treatment.
Alternative mesothelioma treatments, also called complementary treatments, encompass a wide range of therapies that a cancer specialist won’t normally provide.
“In integrative oncology, we combine the best of the complimentary [therapies] as well as mainstream care. Our therapies are very, very beneficial. We help you to be as resilient as possible, we decrease side effects, and help you to be able to receive appropriate treatment.”
– Dr. Kathleen Wesa, Integrative Medicine Specialist at Garnet Health Medical Center
Alternative therapies are not proven to kill cancer cells, so doctors do not substitute them for established mesothelioma treatment. However, these complementary treatments are sometimes used together in what is known as integrative medicine.
