Integrative medicine is the combined use of complementary and alternative medicine with conventional or traditional Western medicine systems. The demand for integrative veterinary medicine is growing, but evidence-based research on its efficacy is limited. In veterinary clinical oncology, such research could be translated to human medicine, because veterinary patients with spontaneous tumors are valuable translational models for human cancers. An overview of specific herbs, botanics, dietary supplements, and acupuncture evaluated in dogs, in vitro canine cells, and other relevant species both in vivo and in vitro is presented for their potential use as integrative therapies in veterinary clinical oncology.
整合医学是指将补充和替代医学与传统或西方医学体系结合使用。对整合兽医学的需求正在增长，但其疗效的循证研究有限。在兽医临床肿瘤学中，此类研究可转化应用于人类医学，因为患有自发性肿瘤的兽医患者是人类癌症的宝贵转化模型。本文概述了在犬类、犬类体外细胞以及其他相关物种体内和体外评估的特定草药、植物药、膳食补充剂和针灸，以探讨它们作为兽医临床肿瘤学整合疗法的潜在用途。
