Of course, cancer cannot be cured with yoga, sound mediation or qigong alone, but the positive effect during radiotherapy or chemotherapy has been scientifically proven.

"Cancer patients struggle with anxiety, psychological stress and depressive moments immediately after diagnosis, but also during the individual phases of the disease," explains Professor Dr. Dr. Diana Steinmann, Head of the Klaus Bahlsen Center for Integrative Oncology and Senior Physician in the Clinical Department of Radiotherapy and Special Oncology.

The Klaus Bahlsen Center for Integrative Oncology offers courses on various meditation and relaxation methods. The influence of the psyche should not be underestimated: Inner peace and positive thoughts can alleviate side effects and measurably promote the success of cancer treatment.
