THE STATE OF INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE AT ASCO

 

The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2008 annual meeting in

Chicago last week was a good chance to assess the integration of

complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) into oncology as a whole.

The world of CAM at the moment is divided into those few practitioners

who use purely nutritional and/or alternative treatments, and a larger

group that is trying to integrate the use of non-conventional treatments

into conventional oncology, sometimes at major cancer centers. I was

struck by the paltry representation of either kind of approach at the

ASCO meeting . . .
