Medicinal herbs and phytochitodeztherapy in oncology

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.
