DATA SOURCES: Scientific and research articles, internet for active research studies. CONCLUSION: CAM is increasingly used as adjunctive cancer therapies in pediatrics. Mind-body and touch therapies have the greatest evidencefor effectiveness in reducing psychological and physical stressors. Supplements and herbal therapies receive the greatest interest, however, and more research is needed to determine efficacy in improving symptoms or outcomes in children with cancer. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Mind-body and touch therapies can be used by nurses to reduce symptoms and anxiety in children. Potential risks and benefits should be determined for therapies that have no evidence. 2005 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context <a href="http://doi.org/10.1016/j.soncn.2004.12.007" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">10.1016/j.soncn.2004.12.007</a> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Article information provided for research and reference use only.
