摘要

This issue ranges in subject matter from the mind-body level to the molecular, certainly typical of integrative oncology as a whole. We begin with a commentary on the phytochemical quercetin by Salvatore Chirombolo. Like so many other phytochemicals, it is impressively multitar-geted, apparently with a special role in the induction of apoptosis.Our first 2 research articles are studies of yoga for cancer patients. Suzanne Slocum-Giri and colleagues examined the feasibility of a large-scale research program in yoga with cancer patients through qualitative study, identifying both interest in and barriers to such study. Nicole Culos-Reed and colleagues also report a feasibility study, this one based on a pilot trial in prostate cancer patients. This trial had an interest feature in that patients were invited to include a support person in the class. Both studies point the way toward further research on yoga as a viable intervention.
