OBJECTIVES
To review the evidence for the effectiveness of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) on cancer-related lymphedema.
DATA SOURCES
CINAHL, PsycINFO, and PubMed (1990-2012).
CONCLUSION
To date, there is insufficient evidence to draw conclusions about the benefits of CAM use for cancer patients with lymphedema. Although some CAM types may offer positive effects for the management of lymphedema, negative adverse effects have also been observed.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE
Oncology nurses and therapists should be aware of and ready to educate cancer patients about the potential effects of CAM. A conversation about the potential risks and benefits of CAM use should be provided.
目的
综述补充和替代医学（CAM）对癌症相关淋巴水肿的有效性证据。
资料来源
CINAHL、PsycINFO 和 PubMed（1990-2012 年）。
结论
迄今为止，尚无充分证据得出有关癌症患者使用 CAM 治疗淋巴水肿益处的结论。尽管某些 CAM 类型可能对淋巴水肿的管理具有积极影响，但也观察到了负面的不良反应。
对护理实践的意义
肿瘤护士和治疗师应该了解并随时准备向癌症患者传授 CAM 的潜在影响。应该就 CAM 使用的潜在风险和益处进行讨论。
