Description
Ying-Xiang Chen and co-authors review what cancer patients prefer in hands-on Chinese therapies in a 2025 paper. Non-drug traditional Chinese medicine, such as acupuncture-style care, grows ever more popular in cancer wards. No review had yet joined the proof on patient preferences for these options.
Eight databases were searched from their start to a recent cutoff date. Study quality was graded with a mixed-methods tool, and proof was merged by a convergent synthesis method. Counts were reshaped into themes so numbers and voices could speak together. Preference drivers matter for clinics that must stock time and staff. Care that patients actually want is more likely to be finished.
