Purpose: Acupuncture has been used for managing cancer-related symptoms. However, there are still few studies concerning the overall trends in acupuncture therapy on cancer based on bibliometric analysis. This study aims to demonstrate the current status and trends in this field over the past 2 decades. Methods: Articles were retrieved from the Web of Science from 2000 to 2019. CiteSpace was used for co-authorship network of countries/institutions, dual-map analysis, and detecting the keywords with citation bursts. VOSviewer was used to construct networks based on co-authorship and co-citation analysis of authors, and co-occurrence of keywords. Results: A total of 927 articles and reviews were included in the final analysis. The number of publications has steadily increased with some fluctuations among years. The country and institution contributing most to this field are the USA and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Mao JJ was the most productive author and Molassiotis A ranked first in the cited authors. The co-occurrence analysis revealed 5 clusters (including “clinical trials,” “clinical studies on chemotherapy/radiation-induced symptoms,” “CAM therapy for cancer,” “clinical studies on vasomotor symptoms,” and “systematic reviews”). Most recent keyword bursts were “neuropathic pain,” “arthralgia,” “prevention,” “supportive care,” and “integrative medicine”. Conclusions: The annual publication output would increase rapidly in the next decade, which shows a promising future in this research field. Future research hotspots would focus on the role of acupuncture in neuropathic pain, arthralgia, prevention, supportive care, and integrative medicine.

The Integrative Medicine Program at MD Anderson Cancer Center was first established in 1998.  Our mission is to empower patients with cancer and their families to become active partners in their own physical, psycho-spiritual, and social health through personalized education and evidenced-based clinical care to optimize health, quality of life, and clinical outcomes across the cancer continuum.  The program consists of three main components: clinical care, research, and education.  The Integrative Medicine Center provides clinical services to patients through individual and group programs.  The clinical philosophy of the center is to work collaboratively with the oncology teams to build comprehensive and integrative care plans that are personalized, evidence-based, and safe with the goal of improving clinical outcomes.  The individual services comprise of integrative oncology consultation, acupuncture, meditation, music therapy, nutrition, and oncology massage.  The center also provides a variety of group programs including meditation, yoga, tai chi, cooking classes and others.  Over the past 13 years, over 70,000 patients and families have participated in services and programs offered by the center.  The research portfolio focuses on three main areas: mind-body interventions, acupuncture, and meditation.  This lecture will focus on providing an overview of the Integrative Medicine Program at MD Anderson with a focus on the clinical services provided.  Participants will learn about the integrative clinical model and how this is applied to the care of cancer patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center.  Current and future research topics will be discussed as well as patient cases.

169 Background: The majority of patients with cancer incorporate integrative medicine strategies into their cancer experience however; patient reported preferences and impact on quality of life is limited. We present cancer patient utilization for specific integrative medicine modalities within the Mayo Clinic Arizona Comprehensive Cancer center and describe the patient perceived impact on quality of life. Methods: Patients and family members attending the 2015 Living with Cancer Symposium at Mayo Clinic Arizona completed a survey indicating whether specific integrative medicine modalities were utilized during cancer treatment and whether utilization had an impact on the patients perceived quality of life. Patient diagnoses and stage were collected. A total of 119 patient surveys were completed and analyzed. Results: The patient diagnoses included hematologic malignancies (27%), breast (25%), prostate (18%), and other (30%). Disease stage was nearly evenly distributed with stage I (21%), stage II (20%), stage III (16%), stage IV (15%), and unknown (28%). The most commonly utilized integrative modalities included nutrition (54%), natural product supplementation (34%), massage (33%), exercise (31%) including yoga (23%) and tai chi (1%), breathing and meditation interventions (26-28%), support groups (23%), and pet therapy (17%). The majority of patients (64%) reported integrative intervention utilization led to an enhanced quality of life during cancer therapy. Conclusions: At a single academic cancer center, in a cancer type and stage diverse population, the majority of patients (64%) reported improved quality of life during cancer therapy with integrative medicine intervention utilization. Nutrition, natural product supplementation, massage, exercise, and meditative modalities were most commonly utilized. Interestingly, a large proportion of patients analyzed in this questionnaire-based study were afflicted with hematologic disease, a population underrepresented in the current integrative medicine intervention research. More studies exploring the feasibility and impact of integrative therapies in the hematologic patient population are needed.
