KNOW Database

The Knowledge in Naturopathic Oncology Website (KNOW) is a highly searchable, up-to-date research database on natural agents in cancer care. It functions as a clinical and educational tool to help you quickly access pertinent information to make evidence-informed decisions.

KNOW systematically harvests & summarizes clinical studies from both North American & International literature (Medline & EMBASE). These research summaries are searchable by tumor type, side effect, conventional treatment or natural agent. For example, you can search for studies only on; lung cancer, or Taxol, or neuropathy, or fish oil. KNOW’s mission is to maintain this ever-growing knowledge base, and to harness this data to help generate resources for oncology professionals, cancer researchers, cancer patients and their families.
