The benefits of acupuncture in cancer care

Studies show acupuncture can help relieve a wide range of symptoms related to cancer and its treatment. In this episode, we speak with acupuncturist oncologist Amy Truong, D.T.C.M., M.P.H., L.Ac., about the evidence-backed benefits of acupuncture for patients with cancer. Dr. Truong brings extensive knowledge and expertise in both public health and traditional Chinese medicine to her practice at City of Hope Orange County Lennar Foundation Cancer Center. She holds both a master’s and a doctorate in traditional Chinese medicine, and a master’s degree in public health. Acupuncture oncology is a key part of City of Hope’s first-of-its-kind national integrative oncology program that will bring together Eastern and Western treatment methods to improve outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients and survivors.
