In the comprehensive approach to the oncological patient, the control of systemic inflammation is one of the fundamental pillars. In recent years, science has turned its attention to phytotherapy, highlighting an ancient extract that is showing promising results in recent clinical trials: Boswellia serrata.

In my daily clinical practice, one of the most frequent imbalances I observe in patients is the effect of stress on health. For this reason, it is fundamental for me to insist on a clear guideline from the first consultation: it is necessary to avoid the consumption of tea (whether green, black, or white) and coffee.

In cancer treatment, accurate follow-up is critical to improve treatment outcomes and patient survival. In this sense, tumor markers are a valuable tool in cancer diagnosis and monitoring. They allow us to quantify tumor activity and response to treatment long before performing control imaging tests (CT, PET, CT, MRI).
