The increase in early-stage cancers, particularly gastrointestinal, breast and kidney has been linked to lifestyle changes such as consumption of processed foods physical inactivity, which contribute obesity diabetes - major cancer risk factors. Conventional treatments chemotherapy radiation often lead severe long-term side effects, including secondary cancers tissue damage, highlighting the need for new, safer more effective therapies, especially young patients. Weak electromagnetic fields (WEMF) offer a promising non-invasive approach treatment. While WEMF have used therapeutically musculoskeletal disorders decades, their role oncology is still emerging. WEMFs affect multiple cellular processes through mechanisms radical pair mechanism (RPM), alters reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, mitochondrial function, glycolysis, among others. This review explores potential conjunction with therapy, selective targeting cells its non-ionizing nature, could reduce collateral damage compared conventional treatments. In addition, synchronization circadian rhythms may further enhance therapeutic efficacy, demonstrated other therapies.

Infratentorial meningiomas (IM) pose unique challenges in treatment due to their location and proximity critical neurovascular structures such as cranial nerves, arteries, veins, etc. This case report presents the efficacy of an integrative medicine approach managing IM, highlighting multidisciplinary collaboration modern medicine, yoga, naturopathy, homeopathy. A 60-year-old male with deemed unsuitable for surgery, underwent a tailored protocol involving oncothermia, ozone therapy, high-dose vitamin C, hydrogen inhalation, time-restricted feeding, hydrotherapy, biologicals, acupuncture, yoga. Follow-up assessments revealed significant symptom reduction, stable biochemical markers, tumor size reduction observed MRI scans. While individual modalities have demonstrated benefits cancer care, this underscores potential integrating diverse therapies address multifaceted IM. The findings offer valuable insights into evolving landscape brain management, suggesting promise improved patient outcomes enhanced quality life. Further research clinical trials are warranted comprehensively evaluate safety approaches IM treatment.

Currently, the clinical treatment of cancer is mainly based on surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but there are still problems associated with these treatments, such as disease recurrence adverse reactions. The complexity harmful nature mean that combining multiple methods an inevitable response. Therefore, it theoretical practical significance to expand upon study aforementioned classic traditional measures. With advancement technology, physical therapy has become important in current research cancer, factors related deserve in-depth discussion. present review aimed describe mechanisms action pressure, temperature, photo-, sound other therapies for which may provide new avenues treatment.

Aims: This review aims to synthesize the latest literature on physical treatments for wounds, focusing use of ozone therapy, topical oxygen pulsed electromagnetic field and red light therapy in oncology patients. It evaluates indications, benefits, contraindications these therapies, especially concerning cancer. Materials Methods: A search was conducted publicly available online databases, covering publications English Polish from 2010 2024. The inclusion criteria comprised clinical trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, articles wounds selection process involved pre-selection, title abstract review, full-text ensure compliance with criteria. Data were analyzed identify mechanisms action, therapeutic efficacy, potential risks associated therapies Ozone showed reducing bacterial load tumor hypoxia, enhancing chemotherapy efficacy. Topical effective chronic careful application near sites. Pulsed demonstrated promising anticancer effects, inducing apoptosis cancer cells. Red while beneficial managing side effects treatments, contraindicated areas active tumors due risk stimulating cell proliferation. Conclusions: Physical offer benefits wound management but require consideration Personalized evaluation further research are essential establish safe protocols patients, maximizing minimizing risks.
