Using acupuncture to help manage pain associated with cancer treatment, may offer additional tools to help manage function and quality of life in survivors, according to Jun J. Mao, MD, MSCE.

At the 2020 ASCO Virtual Program, Jun J. Mao, MD, MSCE, presented a study designed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of electro-acupuncture and auricular acupuncture versus usual care in managing pain in cancer survivors.

As the national opioid crisis has created new challenges in pain management, cancer survivors are in need of non-pharmacological options.
