Trends in Complementary and Alternative Medicine Adoption by Cancer Patients
The use of CAM is common among many cancer patients. CAM products may interact with chemotherapy drugs, potentially affecting treatment outcomes. Therefore, it is very important to take an accurate history of these products in every chemotherapy session in order to assess the safety of CAM consumption. Further research is required to evaluate the impact of CAM use on the efficacy and safety of cancer treatments.
