Extracts from The Cochrane Library: Homeopathic medicines for adverse effects of cancer treatments

The “Cochrane Corner” is a quarterly section in the Journal that highlights systematic reviews relevant to otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, with invited commentary to aid clinical decision making. This installment features a Cochrane Review entitled “Homeopathic medicines for adverse effects of cancer treatments,” which finds preliminary data to support efficacy of topical calendula for radiation-induced dermatitis and a proprietary mouthwash for chemotherapy-induced stomatitis.
