Reviews of Complementary Therapies

Complementary cancer therapies may be used in addition to conventional therapies such as chemotherapy or surgery. Many can help you manage side effects of conventional treatments and generally promote wellness. Some may work with your conventional treatments to improve your outcomes.

The evidence of benefit can vary substantially from one cancer type or side effect to another. Check details before deciding on use.

Many more therapies are planned; see Upcoming Therapy Reviews ›
