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.

This should be taken into consideration in consultation with prostate cancer patients regarding CM. PMID: 25297489 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Paralytic ileus after ileocystoplasty in a patient with spinal cord injury : Is homeopathy helpful?
We present the case of a paraplegic man who developed a massive paralytic ileus after ileocystoplasty and surgical revision. Conventional stimulation of bowel function was unsuccessful; only by an adjunctive homeopathic treatment was normalization of bowel function achieved. Adjunctive homeopathic therapy is a promising treatment option in patients with complex bowel dysfunction after abdominal surgery who do not adequately respond to conventional treatment.
