The use of acupuncture and electropuncture to cure different groups of cancer patients has been started since 1977. 370 patients were treated and remote results were under follow-up. The methods were used in the following cases:
Patients with progressive cancer disease.
Patients with late radiation injury (after radiation and combined treatments)
Patients after radical operation of cancer.
Clinical and laboratory results enabled to make a conclusion on the influence of acupuncture and electropuncture on: degree of analgesia; recovery of sensitive and locomotive disorders of the neurologic system; correction of disturbance of vascular-thrombocytosis link; improvement of life quality On the basis of these observations one should draw a conclusion that acupuncture and electropuncture effect strongly. These methods do not result in reduction of life expectancy in the compared groups of cancer patients.
