    Objective: Systematize evidence on the effectiveness of alternative therapies to improve quality of life in cancer patients. Materials and Methods: Systematic observational and retrospective review, recording relevant studies to answer specific questions. The search was limited to articles with full text, they were subjected to an analytical reading, assigning the strength of recommendation using the grade system. Results: In the search, 10 articles were chosen where 30% (03/10) are pre-experimental designs from Spain and Mexico, 30% (03/10) are systematic reviews from China and Peru, 40% (04/10) experimental study, meta-analysis, quasi-experimental and randomized controlled clinical trial from the countries China, Cuba and South Korea. 80% of articles affirm that alternative therapies are effective in improving quality of life, and 20% showed not so significant results, needing more and better research. Conclusions: 8 out of 10 investigations showed that there is effectiveness of alternative therapies, reducing anxiety, pain, fatigue and depression; and 2 of 10 investigations improve the quality of life in some of its aspects and in conjunction with other alternative therapies to be effective.
