Background: There are no data on survival rate of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) on complementary alternative medicine in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to analyze the survival rate of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) on conventional (modern) and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments.
Methods: Across-sectional observational study of 33 NPC patients from each conventional (modern) treatment and CAM group was performed. The guided intervews were conducted to describe CAM treatment in NPC patients by using a validated questionnaire based CAM therapies of California Health Interview Survey 2001. Survival analysis was conducted by the Kaplan- Meir method. Results: Most patients (52.3%) used CAM treatments.Multivitamin and herbal medicines were among the commonly used CAM (52.8%). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed no signijicant results (p=0.444) between groups. The jirst and second year of survival rate was comparable between groups (66.6% vs. 54.5%; 45.5% vs 33.3%). Furthermore, the median overall survival (OS) was shown (16; 95% CI: 1.58-8.90) in CAM treatment patients and conventional (modern) treatment (12; 95% CI: 8.477-0. 00). The prevalence ratio (PR) obtained in this study was 1.2 (95% Cl: 0.79-I.69).
Conclusion: CAM treatment on NPC patients had no effect on survival rate compared with conventional (modern) treatment.
Keywords: NPC, CAM, survival rate
