No: The key to treat lung cancer is the standard treatment which may consist of surgery, radiation or chemotherapy or combination of the above. However there are supplementary treatments such as message, music therapy accunpuncture , meditation to enhance treatment and reduce toxicities but they cannot substitute the standard treatments.
