Acupuncture can help during and after conventional cancer treatment. The fact that a large, well-informed platform pays attention to this issue increases awareness about it. Several NVA acupuncturists have worked intensively to provide the website kanker.nl with good information about acupuncture. Kanker.nl is an initiative of KWF, NFK, and IKNL.

At the kanker.nl website, there is an entire page dedicated to acupuncture. You will find the NVA animation about acupuncture there, as well as two videos of patients sharing their experiences with acupuncture. Additionally, there are references to the leading CAM Cancer Consortium and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, along with guidelines and research on the application of acupuncture in cancer treatment.
