2020 
Qi Gong, like an ancient form of health maintenance of Traditional China Medicine, is applied to effectively give an integrative support on patients with cancer. The diagnosis and treatment of cancer are associated with significant changes in quality of life (QOL) and side effects. The effects of Qi Gong in treating common cancer-related side effects, including nausea, pain, fatigue, anxiety, inflammation, depressive symptoms and improving overall QOL are confirmed in literature [1-5]. Qi Gong includes many techniques (e.g. self-massages, movements, meditations, breath controlling and mindfulness) and managing physical body, breath and mind (consciousness). Most include more forms, “Family-styles” and only very few are able to combine significantly “body-breath-mind”. Furthermore, only for 2 or 3 are available an Evidence Base Medicine-track records. Actually, the efficacy of Qi Gong is currently achievable in long/med time and depends on: i) time-training, especially homely, ii) correct sequence and iii) steadiness.
