It's crucial to be very cautious with supplements during targeted therapy treatment. Many supplements have not been thoroughly tested, and some can actually interfere with cancer treatments. Always consult with your doctor before starting any supplement regimen.

Melatonin is one supplement that has shown promise in clinical trials. It may help improve sleep quality, reduce fatigue, and potentially offer some protection from treatment-related effects. However, even melatonin should only be taken under medical supervision as it can interact with other medications. Be especially careful with antioxidants and certain herbal supplements, as they may reduce the effectiveness of cancer treatments. Some supplements can also affect blood clotting, which could be dangerous if you're undergoing treatment. Natural doesn't always mean safe, and taking high doses or combining multiple supplements can increase the risk of side effects.
