This study aims to review how complementary and integrative medicine (CIM), defined as therapies utilizing nutrition, physical activity, herbs, supplements, mind-body therapies, homeopathy, and other non-traditional therapies, can address the prevention, treatment, side effects, and recurrence of kidney cancer. This review discusses advances and discoveries in research, gaps in research, current debates on the subject, and directions for future research. We queried Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed databases using the search terms kidney cancer, integrative medicine, integrative oncology, nutrition, supplements, treatment, prevention, and therapy. Searches were limited to integrative medicine and integrative oncology. We reviewed CIM therapies related to prevention, treatment, side effect mitigation, and recurrence of kidney cancers.
Search results yielded 211 studies, of which 87 were relevant to this review. Studies related to CIM and kidney cancer were clustered into themes, including nutrition, physical activity, supplements, mind-body therapies, and alternative therapies. This review provides a foundation for utilizing the principles of integrative medicine in the prevention of and care for patients with kidney cancer and the need for further focused research on the effectiveness of CIM in kidney cancers.
目的综述：本研究旨在综述补充和整合医学（CIM），即利用营养、体育活动、草药、补充剂、身心疗法、顺势疗法和其他非传统疗法的治疗方法，如何用于预防、治疗、副作用和肾癌复发。本综述讨论了该领域的研究进展和发现、研究中的差距、当前的争议以及未来的研究方向。我们使用“肾癌、整合医学、整合肿瘤学、营养、补充剂、治疗、预防和疗法”等关键词在 Ovid MEDLINE 和 PubMed 数据库中进行了检索。检索仅限于整合医学和整合肿瘤学。我们回顾了与预防、治疗、缓解副作用和肾癌复发相关的 CIM 疗法。
最近发现：搜索结果产生了 211 项研究，其中 87 项与本综述相关。与 CIM 和肾癌相关的研究集中在以下主题，包括营养、体育活动、补充剂、身心疗法和替代疗法。本综述为在预防和治疗肾癌患者中应用整合医学原则提供了基础，并需要进一步针对 CIM 在肾癌中的有效性进行重点研究。
