In the current scenario of medical sciences, homeopathy, the most popular system of therapy, is recognized as one of the components of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) across the world. Despite, a long debate is continuing whether homeopathy is just a placebo or more than it, homeopathy has been considered to be safe and cost-effectiveness therapeutic modality. A number of human ailments ranging from common to serious have been treated with homeopathy. However, selection of appropriate medicines against a disease is cumbersome task as total spectrum of symptoms of a patient guides this process. Available data suggest that homeopathy has potency not only to treat various types of cancers but also to reduce the side effects caused by standard therapeutic modalities like chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery. Although homeopathy has been widely used for management of cancers, its efficacy is still under question. In the present review, the anti-cancer effect of various homeopathic drugs against different kinds of cancers has been discussed and future course of action has also been suggested.
在当前医学科学的背景下,顺势疗法作为最受欢迎的治疗体系,在全球被公认为补充和替代医学(CAM)的组成部分之一。尽管关于顺势疗法仅仅是一种安慰剂还是不止于此的长期争论仍在继续,但顺势疗法已被视为一种安全且具有成本效益的治疗方式。从常见疾病到严重疾病,许多人类疾病都已采用顺势疗法进行治疗。然而,针对一种疾病选择合适的药物是一项繁琐的任务,因为患者症状的全貌指导着这一过程。现有数据表明,顺势疗法不仅有能力治疗各种类型的癌症,还能减轻化疗、放疗或手术等标准治疗方式所引起的副作用。尽管顺势疗法已被广泛用于癌症管理,但其疗效仍受到质疑。在本综述中,讨论了各种顺势疗法药物对不同类型癌症的抗癌作用,并提出了未来的行动方向。
