Abstract

Summary

Die Traditionelle Chinesische Medizin (TCM) hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten weltweit Aufmerksamkeit auf sich gezogen, auch in der Onkologie. Hier werden zum Beispiel Akupunktur und Akupressur eingesetzt, um Beschwerden wie Übelkeit oder Fatigue zu lindern. Auch chinesische Arzneimittel werden zur Linderung von Nebenwirkungen angewandt, die etwa im Rahmen einer Chemotherapie auftreten. Dieser Artikel bietet eine Übersicht, welche Therapien der TCM in der Onkologie bereits leitliniengestützt zum Einsatz kommen und für welche Therapien noch wissenschaftliche Belege erarbeitet werden müssen.
