Abstract

One thousand and thirteen cancer patients were interviewed in five German cancer centres, 30% reported a subjective improvement in quality of life due to the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The high rate of CAM use and possible interactions with basic anticancer-therapies, e.g. radiotherapy, are reasons to extend CAM anamnesis.
