Evaluation of integrative oncology modalities for symptom management: a MASCC/SIO global survey
This study provides valuable insights into global utilization patterns of IOM in supportive cancer care, highlighting that while most respondents have utilized IOM, there is a perceived underutilization overall. Our results show significant regional differences in the availability of integrative oncology education and hint to financial barriers impacting IOM use. Further research is necessary to explore these aspects and inform strategies for supporting IOM implementation efforts.
