The use of complementary and integrative therapies as adjunct interventions during radiotherapy: a systematic review

Conurrent CIM may reduce radiotherapy-induced toxicities and improve quality of life, suggesting that physicians should discuss CIM with patients receiving radiotherapy, and how radiation oncologists advise their patients about CIM.

Complementary and alternative medicine use and disclosure amongst Australian radiotherapy patients

CAM use was prevalent amongst cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy, but frequently not discussed with the treating radiation oncologist, considering the high prevalence of CAM.

Yoga Intervention for Patients With Prostate Cancer Undergoing External Beam Radiation Therapy

A structured yoga intervention of twice-weekly classes is feasible for PC patients during a 6- to 9-week course of outpatient radiotherapy, and preliminary results are promising, showing stable measurements in fatigue, sexual health, UI, and general QOL.

Complementary therapy use in metropolitan and regional Australian radiotherapy centres; do patients report effective outcomes?

CAM use across regional and metropolitan Australia is equivalent, constitutes a substantial proportion of radiotherapy outpatients and is largely considered effective by CAM users.

Counseling on Complementary Methods in the Treatment of Side Effects of Oncological Therapies: A Project of the Breast and Bowel Center Nahe at the Hospital Sankt Marienwoerth Bad Kreuznach

The Efficacy and Safety of Massage Therapy for Cancer Inpatients with Venous Thromboembolism

If precautions are taken not to massage the anatomic site of the VTE, patients are afebrile and have >50,000 platelets with no coagulopathy, oncologic massage is a safe, non-invasive intervention even following VTE for improvement in generalized pain, fatigue and quality of life.

The Efficacy and Safety of Massage Therapy for Cancer Inpatients with Venous Thromboembolism

This study suggests that if precautions are taken not to massage the anatomic site of the VTE, patients are afebrile and have >50,000 platelets with no coagulopathy, oncologic massage is a safe, non-invasive intervention even following VTE for improvement in generalized pain, fatigue and quality of life.

Use of Self-Care and Practitioner-Based Forms of Complementary and Alternative Medicine before and after a Diagnosis of Breast Cancer

Healthy behaviors, including high fruit/vegetable intake and exercise, were more strongly associated with continuously using self-care than starting self- Care after diagnosis, and Breast cancer diagnosis was associated with subsequent behavioral changes, and the majority of women undertook new forms of self- care after diagnosis.

Targeted photodynamic therapy as potential treatment modality for the eradication of colon cancer and colon cancer stem cells

This review focuses on current photodynamic therapy treatments available for colorectal cancer and highlights proposed actively targeted photosynthetic drug uptake mechanisms specifically mediated towards colon cancer stem cells, as well as identifying the gaps in research.

Prevalence of complementary and alternative medicine use in cancer patients during treatment

An overwhelming proportion of cancer patients are using CAM, particularly prayer, relaxation, and exercise, but patients may not discuss the use of CAMs at all or fully with their physician; if they do, it is most likely to be their oncologist, but not about the most frequently used CAMs.
