Antioxidants do not interfere with cancer radiation treatments, according to research: NewsTarget.com

Research by Cancer Treatment Centers of America scientists have found that antioxidants provide nutritional benefits to cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment without interfering with the treatment itself.

 

The study was presented this weekend at the non-profit Society of Integrative Oncology's Third International Conference in Boston.

 

Most doctors feel that radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery are the best treatment options for cancer patients, but the side effects of these treatments can be physically and emotionally damaging. So, supporters of complementary and alternative therapies have sought to improve their patients' post-treatment quality of life through the use of antioxidants.
