purpose: to provide evidence-based recommendations to health care providers on integrative approaches to managing anxiety and depression symptoms in adults living with cancer. methods: the society for integrative oncology and asco convened an expert panel of integrative oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, palliative oncology, social sciences, mind-body medicine, nursing, methodology, and patient advocacy representatives. the literature search included systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized controlled trials published from 1990 through 2023. outcomes of interest included anxiety or depression symptoms as measured by validated psychometric tools, and adverse events. expert panel members used this evidence and informal consensus with the guidelines into decision support methodology to develop evidence-based guideline recommendations. results: the literature search identified 110 relevant studies (30 systematic reviews and 80 randomized controlled trials) to inform the evidence base for this guideline. recommendations: recommendations were made for mindfulness-based interventions (mbis), yoga, relaxation, music therapy, reflexology, and aromatherapy (using inhalation) for treating symptoms of anxiety during active treatment; and mbis, yoga, acupuncture, tai chi and/or qigong, and reflexology for treating anxiety symptoms after cancer treatment. for depression symptoms, mbis, yoga, music therapy, relaxation, and reflexology were recommended during treatment, and mbis, yoga, and tai chi and/or qigong were recommended post-treatment. discussion: issues of patient-health care provider communication, health disparities, comorbid medical conditions, cost implications, guideline implementation, provider training and credentialing, and quality assurance of natural health products are discussed. while several approaches such as mbis and yoga appear effective, limitations of the evidence base including assessment of risk of bias, nonstandardization of therapies, lack of diversity in study samples, and lack of active control conditions as well as future research directions are discussed.additional information is available at www.asco.org/survivorship-guidelines.
objective the society for integrative oncology (sio) online task force was created in response to the challenges facing continuity of integrative oncology care resulting from the covid-19 pandemic. the task force set out to guide integrative oncology practitioners in providing effective and safe online consultations and treatments for quality-of-life-concerns and symptom management. online treatments include manual, acupuncture, movement, mind-body, herbal, and expressive art therapies. methods the sio online practice recommendations employed a four-phase consensus process: (1) literature review and discussion among an international panel of sio members, identifying key elements essential in an integrative oncology visit; (2) development, testing, and refinement of a questionnaire defining challenges and strategies; (3) refinement input from integrative oncology experts from 19 countries; and (4) sio executive committee review identifying the most high-priority challenges and strategies. results the sio online practice recommendations address ten challenges, providing practical suggestions for online treatment/consultation. these include overcoming unfamiliarity, addressing resistance among patients and healthcare practitioners to online consultation/treatment, exploring ethical and medical-legal aspects, solving technological issues, preparing the online treatment setting, starting the online treatment session, maintaining effective communication, promoting specific treatment effects, involving the caregiver, concluding the session, and ensuring continuity of care. conclusions the sio online practice recommendations are relevant for ensuring continuity of care beyond the present pandemic. they can be implemented for patients with limited accessibility to integrative oncology treatments due to geographic constraints, financial difficulties, physical disability, or an unsupportive caregiver. these recommendations require further study in practice settings.
