Cover Story: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies include a wide range of procedures and products that are often used by cancer patients to directly combat cancer and protect normal cells from the toxic effects of conventional therapies. Most often, their use is self-prescribed, based on a collection of scattered information from websites and advice from relatives or friends, possibly leading to unexpected toxicities and a reduction in the efficacy of cancer therapy. Despite claims of promising and potential benefits made by prescribers, many CAMs lack clear scientific evidence of their safety and efficacy. Given the widespread use of CAM, in this review we focused on the most important known data on the interaction risk between anticancer drugs and CAMs in accordance with the meaning of integrative medicine, providing a practical guide for caregivers and patients.
