  • Title: Complementary and alternative therapies in pediatric oncology.
    Author: Sencer SF, Kelly KM.
    Journal: Pediatr Clin North Am; 2007 Dec; 54(6):1043-60; xiii. PubMed ID: 18061790.
    Abstract:
    Evidence on the science of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in children with cancer is slowly evolving. Most parents of children with cancer want their children to receive state-of-the-art therapy, which generally includes chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Increasingly, they also want the concomitant use of CAM therapies to help effect a cure or to alleviate symptoms. The ideal model of integrative pediatric oncology offers safe and effective CAM therapies in a pediatric hospital or medical center setting which participates in the clinical trials network of a pediatric oncology cooperative group setting.
