“…As previously stated, the natural products derived from the roots, leaves, fruits, or whole plants have a large variance in the concentration of their active substances, depending on such environmental conditions as the sunshine, weather, soil components, and bacteria involved during plant growth, so their standardized production is far from simple. Complicated, modern investigations are necessary to create feasible products [82]. However, it is the large variations not only in the natural herbs which are challenging in the application of phytochemical products, but also in human individuals, who show large personal variability in their gut microbiota, which has an essential role in most of the actions of the remedies.…”

Cancer patients frequently report a set of symptoms including fatigue, pain, and physiological and social distress. Families and other personal lay relations give proposals to take supportive drugs and supplemental nutrients, without professional knowledge about their actions. Internet search engines and social networks serve up most of the treatment proposals, opening wide possibilities for quackeries and predatory money-making practices. Medical professionals have a responsibility to clear this field and concentrate on patients' well-being and personal needs. According to our approach, the integration of supportive and palliative care with conventional therapies needs a change of paradigm from tumour-driven to patient-driven treatment actions. Supportive/palliative care includes a broad spectrum of applied methods, including medications, nourishments, electrical effects, and psycho and social supports. Our goal is to discuss the possibilities for combining conventional oncotherapies with additional supportive/palliative care and to give suggestions on a professional basis.
