Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to identify and evaluate the treatment gaps in patients undergoing endocrine therapy for breast and prostate tumors, and to propose integrative solutions for unmet needs.

Methods: The article provides a narrative review of three significant side effects of endocrine therapy among breast and prostate cancer patients: vasomotor effects, joint pain and stiffness, and sexual disorders. It also offers treatment options for these effects from the field of complementary and integrative medicine.

Results: The adverse consequences of endocrine treatments in breast and prostate cancer patients reduce treatment compliance and significantly impair the patients' quality of life. Evidence-based complementary and integrative medicine modalities, including nutritional counseling, dietary supplements, homeopathic remedies, touch therapies, acupuncture, and mind-body treatments, may improve the patients' quality of life and alleviate the burden of side effects.

Conclusions: There is a need to improve the management of side effects unique to endocrine therapy. Integrating supportive care with complementary and integrative medicine offers a viable option to enhance the quality of life for these patients.
