There is a lot of evidence suggesting that qigong therapy has an inhibitory effect on cancer growth, both in vitro and in vivo studies, as well as in clinical observation (often there was room for improvement in these studies and some studies require replication in order to verify their findings). Qigong therapy for cancer is an area that is often neglected by mainstream medicine and research, and it should be seriously examined and considered as an important supplement to conventional cancer treatment. ----------- 2003085154 癌治療における気功療法のレビュー(A Review of Qigong Therapy for Cancer Treatment)(英語)(原著論文) Author：Chen Kevin(米国), Yeung Raphael

   Background. 

Due to the limitations and side effects of conventional cancer treatment, especially in relation to quality of life (QOL), patients are increasingly utilizing complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to supplement health-related outcomes. However, evidence for the safety and efficacy of such treatments is lacking. 

The purpose of the current review was to investigate evidence for the role of one CAM, medical Qigong (MQ), in supportive care. 

背景

由於常規癌症治療的限制和副作用，特別是同生存質量（QOL）相關，病人正在越來越多地採用補充和替代醫學（CAM），以補充健康相關的結果。然而，對這些處理的安全性和效力的證據仍不足。

本項文獻評述的目的是，考查一種CAM即醫療氣功（MQ）在支持治療的功用的證據。

Methods
The literature was searched for reported effects of MQ in improving QOL, immune function, and survival in cancer patients.

方法

文獻搜索報告-醫學氣功MQ對於改善癌症患者的生活質量，免疫功能，以及生存期的功效。

Results.

Although many studies possessed methodological limitations and small sample sizes, encouraging evidence was found for the effects of MQ on these health-related outcomes. More robust evidence in the form of randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes also reflected positive results for the role of MQ in improving QOL, mood and fatigue parameters, and reducing inflammation. 

結果

儘管許多研究有方法論的局限和小樣本，發現了令人鼓舞的證據，醫學氣功MQ對這些健康相關成果的功效。更有力的證據以隨機對照試驗與較大的樣本量的形式，也反映陽性正面結果，醫學氣功MQ的作用能改善生存質量，情緒和疲勞參數，以及減少炎症。

Conclusion
Given such encouraging results, further research is recommended in methodologically sound approaches to further delineate the action of MQ. These findings support the utilization of MQ by cancer patients and the place for such programs in comprehensive cancer care.

結論

文獻調研考查給出了上述這些令人鼓舞的成果，建議進一步研究以更得當的方法來進一步明確描繪醫學氣功MQ的功效。這些發現支持癌症患者採用醫學氣功，支持醫學氣功項目方案在綜合癌症護理中的地位。
