Critical review of complementary therapies in haemato-oncology
D. J. L. Joske, A. Rao and L. Kristjanson

There is evidence of the increasing use of complementary and  
alternative medicine by Australians diagnosed with cancer. Given the  
increasing desire of cancer patients to use complementary and  
alternative medicine, it is important that clinicians have a good  
understanding of the evidence available in this field. This critical  
review aims to provide an overview of the current evidence pertaining  
to a range of complementary therapies that are used in a supportive  
role in the treatment of cancer patients. Treatment methods considered  
are acupuncture, music therapy, massage and touch therapies and  
psychological interventions. The efficacy of these complementary  
therapies in terms of improvement in symptoms and quality of life is  
examined. Evidence that relates to an effect on immune function and  
survival is also investigated.
