Is there alternative treatment other than chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer?

Yes, there are several alternative treatment options for cancer other than chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In recent years, medical researchers have identified a variety of immunotherapies which activate the body's own immune system to attack cancer cells. This includes tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), dendritic cell therapy, and genetically engineered versions of proteins like interleukins and TNF-alpha. In addition, various forms of non-traditional therapies such as acupuncture can also help increase overall wellbeing in patients dealing with cancer. Recently studies suggest that gentle physical activity can improve quality of life for those facing a diagnosis of cancer coupled with conventional treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Scientists are also investigating newer treatments that target specific genes within the cancer cell or exploit vulnerabilities in the way these cells use energy for survival. As this research continues to evolve so too will the available alternative treatment options for patients battling against this cruel disease.
