Cancer Patient Motives and Expectations on Non-medical Practitioners
CONCLUSION: There is a high proportion of cancer patients visiting NMPs mostly for additional treatment. Biologically-based treatments may induce side-effects and interactions, especially as NMPs are not trained on medically accepted cancer treatment and medications. Offering information on CAM and improving the physician-patient relationship are important means to answer unmet needs from the side of the patient.PMID:36099132 | DOI:10.21873/invivo.12986

Complementary medicine in uro-oncology
Urologe A. 2021 Jun 15. doi: 10.1007/s00120-021-01584-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTComplementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is widespread in oncology patients with a user rate of approximately 40-50%. An accompanying supportive effect can arise through improved adherence, especially in long-term (e.g. endocrine) therapies through active patient involvement. When assessing the evidence on frequently requested methods, there is no high-quality evidence that homeopathy or anthroposophy leads to an improved prognosis. Mistletoe therapy can be considered to improve the quality of life, although the data quality is weak....

An uncommon cause of severe hypercalcemia: Vitamin D supplementation in Sarcoidosis.
A 37 year old male presented to the hospital with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting of 2 days duration. Two months ago, he had a similar presentation and an elevated serum calcium level of 10.9 mg/dl. His hypercalcemia symptoms resolved after medical management, and he left the hospital against medical advice, refusing further workup for hypercalcemia. He went to a homeopathy provider and his blood work showed a low vitamin D level of 8 ng/ml. He was prescribed 50,000 units of weekly vitamin D 25 (OH) therapy for four weeks duration.

Survey of Integrative Medicine in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (The SIMM Study-2)
Conclusion:In a geographically diverse MPN patient population, and when adjusting for healthy lifestyle practices overall, patterns of lower symptom burden, fatigue, depression, and higher QoL were revealed with integrative medicine utilization. Although limited by gender discrepancy and patient reported data, this study may offer a foundation to structure future integrative medicine trials to complement standard therapies in MPN patients.DisclosuresGowin: Incyte: Consultancy, Other: Scientific Advisory Board, Speakers Bureau.
