UNLABELLED
This paper sought to review the literature on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use by patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).
METHODS
A systematic search of Pubmed and Embase was conducted to identify the relevant literature. Study investigators reviewed the titles of identified articles and one abstracted data from the eligible studies. Of the 39 English and French citations screened, 4 observational studies were included.
RESULTS
Up to 75% of CRC patients reported using at least one CAM. The bio-based and mind-body therapies were the most commonly used. Nearly half of the studies showed that patients used CAM to improve general health and well-being.
CONCLUSIONS
Future research may focus on how CAM use affects quality of life over time and in relation to changing health states, cancer stage and treatment to enable health care professionals to better inform CRC patients of the CAMs that may be helpful at particular points during the disease and treatment trajectories.
目的
本研究旨在综述结直肠癌（CRC）患者使用补充和替代医学（CAM）的相关文献。
方法
系统检索 Pubmed 和 Embase 以确定相关文献。研究人员对确定的文章标题进行了回顾，并从合格研究中提取了数据。在筛选出的 39 篇英文和法文文献中，有 4 项观察性研究被纳入。
结果
多达 75%的 CRC 患者报告至少使用了一种 CAM。生物医学和身心疗法是最常用的方法。近一半的研究表明，患者使用 CAM 来改善一般健康和幸福感。
结论
未来的研究可能集中于 CAM 的使用如何随着时间的推移以及与健康状态、癌症分期和治疗的变化相关，来影响生活质量，以便医疗保健专业人员能够更好地告知 CRC 患者在疾病和治疗过程中的特定时间点可能有用的 CAM。
