Brain cancer is usually treated by surgery, radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Aside from these conventional brain cancer treatments, there are also alternative treatment options available.
Here are the alternative treatments for brain cancer:
1. Nutritional Therapy
- Nutrition is extremely important for cancer patients. Surgery or chemotherapy can exhaust the body’s nutrients that in effect have a negative impact on appetite and digestion. This will eventually lead to weight loss. Malnutrition is an important consideration in a cancer patient since this is a cause of one-third of deaths.
- Every cancer patient needs a nutritional assessment and an individualized nutrition plan.
