Summary
This study developed a computer database for clinical phytology in oncology, analyzing 2335 patients. Phytotherapy, particularly with chitosan, positively impacted patient quality of life, though practical application remains limited.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Phytology
- Computational Medicine
Background:
- Clinical phytology application in oncology treatment is historically limited by advancements in chemical pharmaceuticals and surgical interventions.
- There is a need for structured data to evaluate the efficacy of phytotherapy in cancer care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a comprehensive computer database for managing phytotherapy applications in oncology patients.
- To systematically collect and analyze patient clinical status and phytotherapy treatment data.
- To specifically investigate the role of phyto-preparations containing chitosan.
Main Methods:
- Development of a specialized computer database to store patient information, including clinical status (diseases, symptoms, syndromes) and prescribed phytotherapy.
- Inclusion of data from 2335 patients undergoing phytotherapy for oncological conditions.
- Focus on analyzing the effectiveness of specific medicinal herbs and complex phyto-preparations, including those with chitosan.
Main Results:
- The database successfully compiled information on 2335 patients, enabling reliable data analysis on phytotherapy efficacy.
- Phytotherapy demonstrated a positive effect on the quality of life for oncology patients.
- The data supports the evaluation of individual medicinal herbs and the development of complex phytotherapy preparations for specific diseases.
Conclusions:
- Phytotherapy can positively influence the quality of life for cancer patients.
- The current practical application of phytotherapy in clinical settings is hindered by a lack of necessary knowledge and practical experience.
- Further development and integration of phytotherapy require robust data management and evidence-based evaluation.
