Are many cancer patients using complementary treatments such as CAAT?
A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found that 83% of cancer patients are using at least one form of complementary therapy as part of their treatment regimen. A number of these patients, however, do this on their own and, thinking their doctors will be disinterested, don’t disclose their complementary treatment. You should always inform your physician of any alternative therapy or supplement you’re using, primarily because of interactions which could result in reduced treatment efficacy.
