Research Databases

These are places to hunt for research on massage therapy and cancer.
They will pull up citations or even abstracts, but not always the full text article.
To retrieve the full text of an article, contact the author or publisher, or obtain it from a medical or hospital library.

The National Library of Medicine renders the latest titles (and sometimes abstracts).

Use the search query "massage therapy"
