Frequency And Predictors For The Use Of Complementary Medicine Among Gynecological Cancer Patients

Abstract

Our data demonstrates a high overall interest in CAM in patients with gynecological cancer. Health care professionals should be aware of this in order to be able to better address their patients´ needs. In the interest of the patients’ overall well-being and safety, it is necessary to explore the use of CAM with cancer patients, educate them about potentially beneficial therapies even in the light of the limited available evidence and to work towards an integrated model of health-care.
