P02.10. 10-year experience from an integrative pediatric oncology centre: a retrospective analysis

2012 
Results A total of 116 cases (39% female) were analysed. Seventy-eight percent were admitted with their 1 st cancer-diagnosis, 22% with any relapse. Fifty-eight percent received their diagnosis in our hospital, 42% in another hospital (9% of them outside Germany). The spectrum of diagnosis was the same as in the German PO-population. Along with a standard conventional therapy according to actual treatment-plans within the GPOHand/or SIOP-framework, 91% of our patients received some form of CAM-medication (e.g. 75% mistletoe-preparations), most out of the spectrum of Anthroposophic Medicine (AM). We could identify a Top 10 of AM remedies prescribed to most patients. The most used nonpharmacological CAM-interventions were: 63% eurythmy therapy, 56% art-therapies (painting, sculpturing), 51% music therapy, 46% external embrocations and compresses. There were no reported serious adverse events for any of the pharmacological or non-pharmacological CAM interventions.
