除了癌症相关的死亡外，恶性进展还会导致一系列的症状和副作用，对癌症患者的生活质量产生不利影响，对其坚持治疗产生不利影响，从而对其长期生存产生不利影响。针灸和电针作为两种经典的中医治疗方法，已被广泛应用于治疗各种疾病。近年来，针刺与电针在癌症患者中的临床应用备受关注。本文就针刺与电针在缓解肿瘤症状、减少肿瘤治疗相关副作用、缓解癌痛等方面的临床应用进行综述。本综述讨论的症状和副作用包括疲劳、失眠、化疗相关消化不良综合征（CADS）、疼痛、口干、焦虑和抑郁。针刺和EA的治疗作用机制可能与调节线粒体功能、协调神经系统活动、调节神经递质产生、减轻免疫反应有关。总之，针灸和EA已被证明对癌症患者有益。然而，需要更多的研究来阐明针灸和EA背后的潜在机制，以便在临床应用中广泛采用。
In addition to cancer-related death, malignant progression also leads to a series of symptoms and side-effects, which would detrimentally affect cancer patients' the quality of life, adversely influence their adherence to treatments, and, therefore, negatively affect their long-term survival. Acupuncture and electroacupuncture (EA), as two classic treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine, have been widely employed to cure various diseases. Recently, the clinical application of acupuncture and EA in cancer patients has received great attention. In this review, we summarized the clinical application of acupuncture and EA in alleviating the cancer symptoms, reducing the cancer treatment-related side-effects, and relieving the cancer pain. The symptoms and side-effects discussed in this review include fatigue, insomnia, chemotherapy-associated dyspepsia syndrome (CADS), pain, xerostomia, and anxiety and depression. The underlying mechanisms of the therapeutic effects of acupuncture and EA might be related to the regulation of the mitochondrial function, coordination of the activity of the nervous system, adjustment of the production of neurotransmitters, and alleviation of the immune responses. In conclusion, acupuncture and EA have been proved to be beneficial for cancer patients. More research, however, is required to clarify the potential mechanisms behind acupuncture and EA for widespread adoption in clinical application.
