Homeopathy effects in patients during oncological treatment: a systematic review.

Purpose: In this systematic review we included clinical studies from 1800 until 2020 to evaluate evidence of the effectiveness of homeopathy on physical and mental conditions in patients during oncological treatment.

Method: In February 2021 a systematic search was conducted searching five electronic databases (Embase, Cochrane, PsychInfo, CINAHL and Medline) to find studies concerning use, effectiveness and potential harm of homeopathy in cancer patients.

Results: From all 1352 search results, 18 studies with 2016 patients were included in this SR.
