Two Surveys, 16 Years Apart: Comparing Traditional and Complementary Medicine Use by Children With Cancer in Jordan
Compared to earlier findings, this study shows a lower prevalence of T&CM use and a higher disclosure rate, suggesting improved communication and awareness. Parents used T&CM to complement conventional care rather than as an alternative. These findings underscore the importance of integrating discussions about T&CM into pediatric oncology care to support safe and informed use.
