چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectivesTo review the evidence for the effectiveness of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) on cancer-related lymphedema.Data SourcesCINAHL, PsycINFO, and PubMed (1990-2012).ConclusionTo date, there is insufficient evidence to draw conclusions about the benefits of CAM use for cancer patients with lymphedema. Although some CAM types may offer positive effects for the management of lymphedema, negative adverse effects have also been observed.Implications for Nursing PracticeOncology nurses and therapists should be aware of and ready to educate cancer patients about the potential effects of CAM. A conversation about the potential risks and benefits of CAM use should be provided.
