Abstract

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, demanding comprehensive and patient-centered treatment strategies.₁ Integrative oncology combines conventional cancer therapies with evidence-informed complementary approaches to improve quality of life and symptom management.2,3 Homeopathy, owing to its individualized and holistic approach, has gained attention as a supportive modality in oncology. However, its role remains controversial due to limited high-quality evidence and concerns regarding biological plausibility. This review explores the current evidence, clinical applications, challenges, ethical considerations, and future directions of homeopathy in integrative cancer care.
