Abstract

O crescente número de casos oncológicos constitui uma preocupação para a sociedade, sendo que com o avançar da terapêutica e a diminuição da mortalidade, o ponto fulcral da mesma seja o prolongamento da vida, mas também o aumento da qualidade de vida do doente oncológico. Alguns dos fármacos usados em quimioterapia tiveram a sua origem em plantas, logo, com o avançar da terapêutica para campos complementares, é intuitivo incluir a fitoterapia como uma das opções. Assim sendo, o uso de fitoterápicos para o alívio da sintomatologia associada à quimioterapia é um campo que desperta interesse tanto para profissionais como para doentes, estando a sua viabilidade condicionada pela fragilidade do doente oncológico e pelas interações dos fitoconstituintes.O crescente número de casos oncológicos constitui uma preocupação para a sociedade, sendo que com o avançar da terapêutica e a diminuição da mortalidade, o ponto fulcral da mesma seja o prolongamento da vida, mas também o aumento da qualidade de vida do doente oncológico.
