Chemotherapy is an effective method for malignant tumors, but chemotherapy-associated adverse effects not only bring great suffering to patients, but also reduce patients' compliance to chemotherapy. Auricular point sticking is a disease treatment method which fixes the particles, such as pills, medicine seeds and plant seeds to specific auricular points using adhesive tape, stimulating relevant points by manual pressure. It has a great potential in reducing chemotherapy-associated side effects. In this paper we reviewed the recent progress on auricular point sticking in treating chemotherapy-associated side effects, and summarized the advantages, limitations, and adverse reactions of auricular point sticking.
