“…Benefits and risks of CAM for the cancer patient Several studies suggest that certain types of CAM (e.g., acupuncture and massage) may be effective support for symptom management in certain subtypes of cancer patients [4,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. However, there are risks including contraindications with use of certain dietary supplements concomitantly with cancer treatments [20,[22][23][24][25].…”

The Peter Brojde Lung Cancer Centre: A Model of Integrative Practice

2012

Background: The generally poor prognosis and poor quality of life for lung cancer patients have highlighted the need for a conceptual model of integrative practice. Although the philosophy of integrative oncology is well described, conceptual models that could guide the implementation and scientific evaluation of integrative practice are lacking. Purpose: The present paper describes a conceptual model of integrative practice in which the philosophical underpinnings derive mainly from integrative oncology, with important contributions from Traditional Chinese Medicine (tcm) and the discipline of nursing. The conceptual model is described in terms of its purpose, values, concepts, dynamic components, scientific evidence, clinical approach, and theoretical underpinnings. The model argues that these components delineate the initial scope and orientation of integrative practice. They serve as the needed context for evaluating and interpreting the effectiveness of clinical interventions in enhancing patient outcomes in lung cancer at various phases of the illness. Furthermore, the development of relevant and effective integrative clinical interventions requires new research methods based on whole-systems research. An initial focus would be the identification of interrelationship patterns among variables that influence clinical interventions and their targeted patient outcomes.
