Abstract
A significant portion of cancer patients will consider or ultimately pursue complementary or alternative medicine (CAM) treatment strategies. Having a working knowledge of these topics is important for a surgical oncologist to participate in informed consent discussions when patients are considering CAM approaches. Psychological, physical, and dietary complementary approaches are discussed, as well as ethical considerations and communication strategies to approach these discussions.
