Apart from being a life-threatening disease, cancer and its therapy are usually associated with a signi fi cant deterioration in the quality of life. Non-pharmacological therapies are increasingly gaining acceptance in the healthcare community as complementary to conventional cancer treatments. The medical and scienti fi c communities are thrust for up-to-date and systematic sources of non-pharmacological therapies that are supported by concrete laboratory evidences and clinical trials. Subsequent to our previous volume entitled Acupuncture and Moxibustion as an Evidence-based Therapy for Cancer , this volume steps forward to gather leading oncologists, physicians and scientists in the fi eld to discuss the application of nonpharmacological therapies for the management of cancer.
