Opportunities exist for pharmaceutical organizations to offer educational programs for physicians and patients, both highlighting possible contraindications for complementary products and the company's branded products, and to align branded products with potentially synergistic complementary approaches. Scientific investigation of herbal remedies is likely to identify novel pharmacological compounds. Scope of this Report: * A review of commonly used and best-studied vitamin, dietary, herbal and botanical and mind-body approaches to cancer * Summaries include clinical data, analysis of the expected efficacy and future potential of these therapies * Confounding factors, such as lack of scientific effect or potentially hazardous side effects, are discussed * Estimates of current and future clinical uptake in the US and Europe are presented * Complementary and standard approaches to cancer treatment are compared in a side-by-side overview of ability to meet today's cancer patients' needs. Report Highlights: The use of complementary therapies is growing and partnering of pharmaceutical agents with traditional therapies is likely to increase the usage of both. Furthermore, increased scientific analysis of complementary and alternative medicines may lead to the identification of novel therapeutic compounds. Key Reasons to Buy this Report: * Understand the future role of regulatory agencies in the incorporation of complementary approaches into routine care * Exploit co-branding opportunities for conventional pharmacological products with complementary products * Identify opportunities to align branded products with potentially synergistic complementary approaches.Get Full Details About This Report >> |
