Purpose
Thoracic-cancer (TC) patients have an extensive toll taken in terms of health-related quality of life (HRQL). Integrative Oncology (IO) is recognized as a valid complement to any Standard-Therapy treatment to improve outcomes in TC patients. The objective of this pilot-study was to evaluate the effect of adding IO (acupuncture, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy and mindfulness) in terms of depression, anxiety and HRQL. Methods TC patients who attended the Thoracic Oncology-Unit from July to September 2018 were invited to participate. A total of 16 patients were included in the study, 8 patients were required to attend 5 weekly sessions of IO and 8 patients were invited as controls. Anxiety, depression and HRQL were measured at baseline and after completing 5 sessions of IO or 5 weeks, using the HADS scale and the QLQ-C30 scale. Results A total of 8 patients in the IO group attended the 5 sessions and 8 patients were followed as controls. Compliance with the therapies was high, none of the patients dropped out from the study. A tendency for improvement in anxiety, fatigue, pain and dyspnea was observed in patients attending IO, though not statistically significant likely due to sample size. Conclusions IO therapies are well accepted among TC patients. Larger studies are necessary with robust sample sizes to improve conclusions regarding outcome improvements. |
