Complementary treatment to support cancer treatment

Mistletoe therapy is used in oncology as a complementary treatment to surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy (or targeted therapies). It aims to strengthen the immune system, improve the patient’s quality of life and reduce the side effects of conventional therapies.

Patients benefit from mistletoe therapy in all phases of cancer. The effects of mistletoe in tumour therapy are:

• Improvement in quality of life: including fatigue, sleep (quality), appetite, physical improvement, reduced susceptibility to infection, recovery of ability to work,
• Tumour remissions (only in individual cases after high doses),
• Strong evidence of prolonged survival: patients live longer with good quality of life, disease progression slows down,
• Reduction of the side effects of conventional oncological therapies.

Therefore, numerous cancers at all stages can be treated with mistletoe preparations. Mistletoe therapy can be carried out before, during or after conventionally orientated treatment.
