Chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy remain the main treatment options for most cancers. However, cancer treatment is associated with numerous adverse effects, including fatigue, stress, hair loss, pain, nausea, vomiting, anemia, altered immune system, oral and intestinal mucositis, which significantly affect patients' quality of life. In addition, the adverse effects may be associated with additional costs, morbidity, and mortality that affect various aspects of the patient's life, including physical health and emotional state. The management and reduction of adverse effects are extremely important and complex and are primarily aimed at providing comfort to the patient during chemotherapy treatment. In addition, it is important to note that in some cases, the severity of side effects associated with cancer treatment may result in the need to reduce the dose, which in turn may be associated with a reduction in the therapeutic efficacy. In view of this, the identification of new options aimed at alleviating the side effects and increasing the tolerability of chemotherapy is necessary to ensure the quality of life of cancer patients.

Can we still dream of a more egalitarian and fairer world? Do we want it?

Is there something different going on? Or is it all just a utopia portrayed in books and movies?We live the imperative of winning: always and at any price. Results matter, but not how we get to them. We do not see ourselves as complementary or interdependent. The other human beings have become adversaries, competitors... enemies! What shocks me most is how many of us consider this kind of mindset, policies, and ways of life to be natural. People a...
