Abstract

Oncology massage therapy can provide significant health benefits to both cancer patients and cancer survivors. A thorough understanding of the cancer location, metastasis, as well as cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy is essential to maximizing the benefits and minimizing the risks.
