Use and perception of complementary and #alternativemedicine among #cancer patients: the CAMEO-PRO study : Complementary and alternative medicine in #oncology



Abstract
BACKGROUND:
It is estimated that about half of #cancerpatients use at least one form of complementary and #alternativemedicines (CAM) in their life but there is a strong reticence of #patients in talking about CAM with their #oncologist. Primary aim of this study was to inform patients about CAM, focusing on their supposed benefits, toxicities and interactions with conventional #therapeuticagents. The study also explored patients' perception about CAM and ascertained the level of CAM use among #cancer patients of an #Italian academic hospital
