<i>War and Cancer</i>: Exploring Patient Narratives in a Randomized Integrative Oncology Study
Narratives of patients facing cancer- and war-related QoL challenges due to the ongoing war in Israel describe a beneficial impact of IO treatments, both immediately and after 24 h. Manual-relaxation without acupuncture was more likely to improve emotional concerns, with pain relief more apparent with the addition of acupuncture. Further qualitative and quantitative research is needed to explore these findings.
