BACKGROUND
Complementary alternative medicine (CAM) is widely used among patients with cancer. This usage may have potentially harmful effects, especially when combined with anticancer drugs. However, some complementary methods may benefit patients. This review investigated the prevalence of CAM use among patients with cancer in Scandinavia and secondly studied the educational levels of CAM users compared to non-users.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A systematic search of the PubMed library was carried out to locate articles published between January 2000 and October 2015 that investigated prevalence of CAM use among Scandinavian patients with cancer.
RESULTS
Twenty-two articles were found, of which nine were included in the review. The prevalence of CAM use was 7.9% to 53%, with an average of 36.0% across all studies.
CONCLUSION
Use of CAM is widespread among patients with cancer. Knowledge about CAM should be disseminated to both patients and staff in order to optimise discussions about CAM in clinical practice.
背景
补充替代医学（CAM）在癌症患者中广泛使用。这种使用可能有潜在的有害影响，尤其是与抗癌药物联合使用时。然而，一些补充方法可能对患者有益。本综述调查了斯堪的纳维亚半岛癌症患者中使用补充替代医学的流行情况，其次研究了补充替代医学使用者与非使用者的教育水平。
材料与方法
对PubMed数据库进行系统检索，以查找2000年1月至2015年10月期间发表的调查斯堪的纳维亚半岛癌症患者补充替代医学使用流行情况的文章。
结果
共找到22篇文章，其中9篇纳入本综述。补充替代医学的使用流行率为7.9%至53%，所有研究的平均流行率为36.0%。
结论
补充替代医学在癌症患者中广泛使用。应向患者和医护人员传播有关补充替代医学的知识，以便在临床实践中优化关于补充替代医学的讨论。
