There are few studies examining complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use and beliefs among non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) survivors. Seven hundred and nineteen patients with NHL from the University of Iowa/Mayo Clinic Molecular Epidemiology Resource who completed the 3-year post-diagnosis questionnaire were included in this study. Altogether 636 (89%) reported ever using CAM, with 78% utilizing vitamins, 54% alternative therapies and 45% herbals. Female gender was associated with increased overall CAM use (p=0.0001) as well as use of vitamins (p=0.0001), herbals (p=0.006) and alternative therapy (p=0.0002) for cancer. Older age (>60) was associated with increased vitamin use (p=0.005) and decreased herbal use (p=0.008). Among users, 143 (20%) believed CAM assists healing, 123 (17%) believed CAM relieves symptoms, 122 (17%) believed CAM gives a feeling of control, 110 (15%) believed CAM assists other treatments, 108 (15%) believed CAM boosts immunity, 26 (4%) believed CAM cures cancer and 36 (5%) believed CAM prevents the spread of cancer.
很少有研究调查非霍奇金淋巴瘤（NHL）幸存者使用补充和替代医学（CAM）的情况及相关信念。本研究纳入了来自爱荷华大学/梅奥诊所分子流行病学资源中心的719例完成诊断后3年问卷的NHL患者。共有636例（89%）报告曾使用CAM，其中78%使用维生素，54%使用替代疗法，45%使用草药。女性与总体CAM使用增加（p=0.0001）以及用于癌症的维生素使用（p=0.0001）、草药使用（p=0.006）和替代疗法使用（p=0.0002）相关。年龄较大（>60岁）与维生素使用增加（p=0.005）和草药使用减少（p=0.008）相关。在使用者中，143例（20%）认为CAM有助于康复，123例（17%）认为CAM能缓解症状，122例（17%）认为CAM能带来掌控感，110例（15%）认为CAM有助于其他治疗，108例（15%）认为CAM能增强免疫力，26例（4%）认为CAM能治愈癌症，36例（5%）认为CAM能防止癌症扩散。
