Dünya genelinde geleneksel tedavi yöntemlerinden olan akupunkturun kullanımı her geçen gün artmaktadır. Akupunktur organizmanın kendi kendini tedavi ettiği güvenli, ucuz ve basit bir yöntemdir ve en önemli özelliği yan etkisinin olmamasıdır. Akupunktur tedavisi radyoterapiye bağlı oluşan yan etkilerin azaltılması ve bu tedavilerden maksimum yarar sağlanması açısından son derece önemlidir. Yapılacak çalışmalarda bu olumlu etkinin muhtemel etki mekanizmalarının açıklanması radyoterapiye bağlı oluşabilecek yan etkilerin tedavisi ve proflaksisinde akupunkturun yerinin anlaşılması ve klinik uygulamalalardaki endikasyonlarının belirlenmesi açısından faydalı olacaktır.
