Am J Surg. 2006 Oct;192(4):471-3 Outcomes of breast cancer in patients who use alternative therapies as primary treatment. BACKGROUND: Some breast cancer patients opt for alternative treatments in place of conventional treatments. The lack of published data on the outcome of this strategy may contribute to this trend. METHODS: A chart review was performed of breast cancer patients who refused OR delayed standard surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy. Prognosis was calculated for recommended AND actual therapy. RESULTS: Thirty-three patients were included in the analysis. Of 11 patients who initially refused surgery, 10 developed disease progression. Of 3 patients who refused adequate nodal sampling, 1 developed nodal recurrence. Of 10 patients who refused local control procedures, 2 developed local recurrences AND 2 died of metastatic disease. By refusing chemotherapy, 9 patients increased their estimated 10-year mortality rate from 17% to 25%. CONCLUSIONS: Alternative therapies used as primary treatment for breast cancer are associated with increased recurrence AND death. Homeopathy instead of surgery resulted in disease progression in most patients. These data may aid patients who are considering alternative therapies. ******************************************************** Eur J Cancer. 2006 Feb;42(3):282-9. Epub 2006 Jan 11. Efficacy of homeopathic therapy in cancer treatment. Many cancer patients use homeopathic approaches to increase their body's ability to fight cancer, improve their physical AND emotional well-being, AND alleviate their pain resulting from the disease OR conventional treatments. Homeopathy is highly controversial as there is no plausible mode of action for these highly diluted remedies. The aim of this systematic review is to summarize AND critically evaluate the efficacy of homeopathic remedies used as a sole OR additional therapy in cancer care. We have searched the literature using the databases: Amed (from 1985); CINHAL (from 1982); EMBASE (from 1974); Medline (from 1951); AND CAMbase (from 1998). Randomised AND non-randomised controlled clinical trials including patients with cancer OR past experience of cancer receiving single OR combined homeopathic interventions were included. The methodological quality of the trials was assessed by Jadad score. Six studies met our inclusion criteria (five were randomised clinical trials AND one was a non-randomised study); but the methodological quality was variable including some high standard studies. Our analysis of published literature on homeopathy found insufficient evidence to support clinical efficacy of homeopathic therapy in cancer care.
